Access front-end can't see SQL Server via Citrix

I have an Access 2003 application that references linked tables that reside on a SQL Server database. When I run it from my desktop, it works fine. When I try to run it under Citrix, the ODBC connection to SQL Server fails. Any ideas?
=============================
UPDATE:
I may have found the problem: I was linking the tables using an ODBC File DSN that resides on a network share. I created a copy on the server's local drive and things have started working, not perfectly mind you...

Hi, what do you mean when you said you created a copy on the server
did you create a copy of the database on the citrix server? I appreciated your input; I am having the same issue:
when I try to use access 97 front-end to SQl via citrix server.

Many thanks,
