Samba & MS Access

I have successfully set up a Samba Domain/Workgroup where I have copied all my MS Access backends into. All is fine, but now only one person can use any particular database at a time...this is not the result I was after. Not sure if this is a Samba issue (could be an Access issue, or even worse...a microsoft one! ~ hehe) but the same scenario works fine when I access identical mdb files stored on an XP box (from a remote location).

Am I missing something here?

do you have the system.mda file set up in the same directory, and have people joined that 'workgroup' file?

if they have, are the people opening the access database in exclusive mode? :)
