Accessing files on file server from Web server

We have a web application on our web server that tries to
access an MS Access database that is sitting on our file
server.

We have tried configuring the Anonymous User account as a
domain account with the appropriate permissions; we have
tried creating an anonymous account on the file server
with the same name and password as the IIS anonymous user;
and we have tried using the "Connect As" in the IIS
manager using an already established domain account.

All of these result in the same error message:

Cannot open file because it is opened exclusively by
another user or you don't have permission to view its data.

Anyone have any ideas on what we are missing?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
