File Already in Use

I have a database, a front end, that links to another datafile which
is also an mdb. I have run into problems with error messages that say
'File Already in Use', when both files reside only on my computer and
are not already in use. Any idea of how I can fix this? I am using
Access 2003.

I have had similar DB setups with previous versions of Access and have
had no problems.

Thanks,
Chris Hartnell
