Accessing Access database from a 2003 server

Hi I have a access database that hosts part of a webpage system. Currently
the web sites are hosted on a windows 2000 server and connection is working
correctly. I am migrating the web pages to a new windows 2003 server but I am
getting the following error when trying to connect back to the windows 2000
server that hosts the database use an ole connection string.

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e4d'

Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or
opened exclusively by another user.

I can get it working locally but not from the remote 2003 server. I need to
leave these file in place until we upgrade the system to sql as they are used
by a few different servers. Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? I can
not find a workgroup or system database on any of the current servers.
