File couldn't be downloaded

I have an asp page that has a bunch of quick links to open up our various access databases.  For some reason they seem to all be working on an XP machine from this page.  However, on a windows 7 machine some open and others get a "NameOfDatabase.accde couldn't be downloaded"  Both machines are using IE 7.  

If I click on the database on the network drive it seems to be working fine as well.  Another user is actually able to open these files having windows 7 and IE7 so I think it is just some sort of setting but I don't get why some databases and not others.


Here is the ASP code that is being used but I doubt it is of much use.  
<A onMouseOver="this.style.color = 'Blue'" onMouseOut="this.style.color = 'Black'"
                                          href="file://HO000XSFIL02/ARC_DATA/FilePath.accde"><FONT onmouseover="this.style.color = 'blue'" onmouseout="this.style.color = 'black'"
                                                face="Trebuchet MS" color="black">

Well it turns out that if the .accde file is already open I get the file could not be opened.  If it is not already open then it opens just fine.  On XP this was not a problem.  Not sure how to resolve this yet.
