Default Excel Link Issue

I link to a couple of Excel sheets, then query them to get the information
out of them that I want, then append any new data to a table. I then run a
form with that data. My problem is, when one user is on that form them other
users can't open it but get a "already in use" message. Is there a work
around to allow all users on the lan to open that? They don't have to edit
the data, just view it. I am using 2003, sp3, split db. Thanks!

One of the VERY few options is not to link, but to import.
