samba - Apr 2005 - tuning samba fot better performance with MS Access mdb files

Our Samba file server has a share with an visual basic application, 
there are 8 XP clients working with this share.
The problem is that connections are very slow when accessing mdb 
databases... we are using MS Access ODBC to connect to the database on 
the samba server.
Is there any special tuning for make things better?

Thanks for the posible answers...

Slackware Linux

   * This distribution is for those that don't care for the overhead of
configuration interfaces, and have a great appetite for raw text files. No need
for dependency checks, since they always know what they are doing. Especially
important to Slackware users are the bragging rights of using the oldest
distribution still in development. Plus the fact that it has been supported by
the same diety all that time, Patrick J. Volkerding. Newbies should be cautious
around Slackware users, because they will cut you none.
