If you get an "Access denied" (or "File is in use by another process")  
error, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do from Python. Tell the users  
to close the application that holds the file open and try again.

Here you have another problem: \t inside a string means the TAB character.  
You have to escape all backslashes or use a raw string:
that is, either use "c:\\mydata\\test\\mygeo.mdb" or  
r"c:\mydata\test\mygeo.mdb"
