Comments/suggestions for fixing the above mentioned problems? Can you be a bit more specific? For example, multi-user access to .mdb files is definitely correctly supported and runs as fine as it can run against a CIFS share. So I'd say the general statement 2) needs at least a bit more of an explanation, as do your statements 1, 3 and 4.

Re: [Samba] Samba Shortfalls?
1) Can not support .chm help files This works on my network 2) Does not support locks for multi-user access to Access This too works on my network 3) Does support URLs from windows with '%' in the path Have not tested this 4) Numerous problems with multiple users accessing same folder. Not really any problems here. Comments/suggestions for fixing the above mentioned problems? For any help you need to provide what version of samba you are using, what you tried and how it failed and most likely you will have to provide your configuration file. Also if you are using an ancient version of samba for example any version less than 3.0.24, you probably will not get much help.

I have a large customer who has no problems with an MS Access application that resides on a Samba 3.2.3 server. Is it possible that you have changed the path (URI path) for the MDB file? If so, you need to get into MS Access to reset the multi-user access settings. 3) Does support URLs from windows with '%' in the path 4) Numerous problems with multiple users accessing same folder.

But 2 staff at the school I work for often have the same Access file open. Not sure if they both get read/write, but as I understand it, MS limited Access network performance by design to encourage people to use MS-SQL Server instead. 3) Does support URLs from windows with '%' in the path I just renamed a file to have a % in it's name, so yes, it works. 4) Numerous problems with multiple users accessing same folder. We use Samba at a school, where often students are saving work into the one folder for staff to mark. Works fine.

Not sure if they both get read/write, but as I understand it, MS limited Access network performance by design to encourage people to use MS-SQL Server instead. I don't think the above is true; Multi-user Access works without issue. Whatever limitations it has are just specific to the product and its architecture; you can't expect a shared-file system to have the same performance metrics as a client/server system. 3) Does support URLs from windows with '%' in the path I just renamed a file to have a % in it's name, so yes, it works.
