[Samba] Problems accessing files from application

I am experiencing a strange problem.

We have a WIN2K app. from which we want to be able to use files on our
SAMBA server.
 When we try to open a file from the SAMBA share we get a message
"cannot open file G:\file.txt" .
The strange with this is that I am able to open the file from notepad
or Word or any other application.

Any ideas anyone??????

My smb.conf looks like this:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = DOMAIN
        netbios name = GYLVE
        netbios aliases = gylve
