Why does my DB not allow any updates when 18 locks are reached?

I have an Access '03 Database that is located on a shared drive on a central
server. If too many people try to access the database at once, then nobody
can do anything until someone else closes the file. When I go into File
Manager on the server, I can see the number of locks placed on the file by
every person that has it open, and it's usually 6 locks per person, but
sometimes it jumps up to 11. I've noticed that if the total number of locks
goes over 18, then that's when the problems start. Is there any way that I
can increase the number of available locks? Or reduce the number of locks
that each person has? Thanks.

I just split the file, we'll see what happens on Monday, but I can already
see a vast difference in the number of locks. Thanks!!
