look into DBI and DBD::ODBC on CPAN
(http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/)
from the DBI mailing list, I gather lots of folks use DBD::ODBC for
perl-MSAccess connectivity...

> I am a software developer for The London School of Hygiene &

> My query is the following: I have been able to successfully

> necessary info. from an Access database I wrote last year (Access 97).
>
> The problem is that in order to get the script to talk to the
> web pages i am currently designing, the script must run on
> the School's network, which is a Unix Solaris machine running Apache.
> Both the School's Web Administrator have been struggling (and
> so far failing) to find an ODBC-like driver that will enable
> Unix to talk to Access via my Perl script.

> The implications of not been able to create some connection
