Just a thought here, perhaps you may try the access 2007 and access 2010 runtime to see if they work for the Access 97. If it works, you may try to install the runtime for the clients.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.  Is it that individual users can open and run the database one at a time, but not simultaneously?  If that is the case, it may just be a server permissions issue.  All users must have full permissions on the folder containing the database.  This is because Access must be able to create, update, and delete the lock (.ldb) file in that folder, in order to manage the locking necessary for shared database access.
