I have an excel file on the lan.  I have it linked to an Access2K database on the web server.  I can open the linked table fine when I open the access database.  I can also open the query that is called in my page.  The problem is that when I open the page that calls the query I get the message that:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\\Gw2k\Bris_All\Joanstuff\BORPROGRAMCIPINVEN.xls'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I know the Excel file is not open and I am sure it is a permission thing.  Probably a permission thing on the lan side.  Any ideas how this needs to be changed without breaching the security of the lan.  I only need to have to excel file read only.
