sql server dts : Windows Server 2003 upgrade, ODBC error

We have just upgraded our 3 main production servers to Windows Server
2003 from Windows Server 2000, these consist of a file server, SQL
server and exchange server.

We are having problems running SQL jobs that run DTS packages. The
error message is as follows :-

Error string: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft
Access Driver] Cannot start your application. The workgroup
information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.

We can execute DTS packages on their own from within the package but
when SQL agent tries to run them as a job we get the error above.

Any ideas???

Many thanks

Many thanks for your help.

Problem solved. Just incase anyone else gets this error,

We found by setting the registry setting of the ODBC to full UNC path
it solved the problem. If possible set both the MDB file and MDW

Many thanks
