Access Error Messages

Hello Community,
I have two issues. First the background information. I have 2 databases that were created in Access 97. The databases were just upgraded to 2003, not by me, but the MIS department. Since that conversion, members of my team are experiencing the following error messages that never occurred before when multiple users are using the db’s:
(1) DatabaseDB Can’t save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save your design changes or to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file.

(2) You don’t have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may not be able to save them later.

Do you think this is happening because the databases were split and when the conversion happened not everything transferred over. Or somehow the security rights have changed? I know things are different from 97 to 2003 so any help will be appreciated. I’m beside myself. I can’t see the problem
