An Access database is best served on a Windows PC. In my experience, you
don't even need to have Access installed for DBI to be able to work
with it. The Mdbtools thing is not yet fully reliable, in my experience.
(Blobs don't work well)
So what you can do, is employ DBI's Proxy Server on that PC.
Can you remotely access an ODBC database on a PC? I don't know, I4ve
never tried.
You don't want to run a database server on a PC? Then you definitely
don't want to be using MS Access.
