Although I am pretty certain that format requires Windows as an Access lib is used by gdal. So no joy on Linux or OS X without a virtual machine.

GDAL does have read support for mdb files (http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pgeo.html)....so you should be able to use GDAL's ogr2ogr utility to convert your mdb into a readable format for QGIS.

I can open the arcgis mdb file (which has geographic information)

I can open the tables with MDBTools, but cannot
open the mdb file as I do with a shp file in QGIS.

Thanks

I am also interested in this. Till now I just open an .mdb file with
gmdb2 0.6pre1 (a gnome mdb viever) and export as .csv

From this point it is easy to import in openoffice.Calc or import in
GRASS' data base and then play around with it (in GRASS or QGIS).

Greets,

Nikos
