Thanks for the feedback. Just making sure you realize that while OpenBD
doesn't ship with MS Access drivers, if there are JDBC drivers available
it's dead simple to drop them into your OpenBD instance and use them. If you
need help with that let me know.

It depends--are there open source MS Access drivers available? If so we can
look into including them. In the mean time, as I said above you can easily
add them yourself.

Not negative at all--we always appreciate people letting us know if they run
into things they can't currently do with OpenBD.

Let me know if you need help dropping drivers in and configuring an Access
datasource. If you know of open source Access drivers that would be great
information to have, but I'll look into it myself as well.

Thanks again for the feedback.
