I thought that mdbtools was interesting, but I have never tried it. Tell
me, what do you think of it? One way that you could provide access to
anyone is to setup an X server on the Windows machines (you can do it
for free with Cygwin). You could then use ssh to have all your users log
into the Linux box and run mdbtools. This way it won't matter if your
running Windows/Linux/Unix everyone could access the database and you
wouldn't have to deal with MS trying to convert it to another format.
