xp sp2 application launch issue

[Matt Fox]

After installing sp2 I have this issue where if I try to launch a file off a
network share through explorer, that is open by multiple users, it will not
launch the application associated. Nothing happens. But if no one else has
this file open then the app launches without issue

things noted

* copy file to local drive it will launch app fine even if it is opened
several times
* occurs on 2 different machines (Professional and home versions)
* professional is on domain
* windows firewall is off
* open with, Double click etc does not work

I assume it is something to do with security and networks with regard to
opening apps.

Does anyone have a clue???

by the way it is an .mdb file associated with Microsoft Access 97

Thanks
