Greetings;

I work for a reasonably large government agency that floats about the water
in big grey boats. We just upgraded our computers to Windows XP and now are
having problems with our databases.

Currently, in this office, I am the creator of a document tracking database
created in Access 2003. It is hosted on a shared network located off-site.
Previously, under the reign of Windows 2000, The personnel within the office
were all able to access the database simultaneously without complications.

Now after the WinXP switchover, When one person has the database open,
nobody else can open it. They will double-click on the icon, and nothing
happens. Access will not attempt to load, and no error messages or dialogs of
any kind show up.

The one exception is myself. I can open the database at will regardless of
who is in it, but again, nobody else can open it at that time.

The steps I have taken are thus:

Under the file properties Security Tab, all users have full control of the
file.

In the DB, I have gone to Tools>Options>Advanced and under "Default Open
Mode" "Shared" is selected. This is the only advice out IT people could give.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
