RE: ODBC Universe (Unix) to MS Access
David, Looking in DataDirect history from their web site at page : http://www.datadirect.com/aboutus/history/index.ssp shows that the company is still an independant company, and has not been purchased by Progress Software. Though, as quoted in their Strategic Partnership at page : http://www.datadirect.com/aboutus/strategicpart/index.ssp they demonstrate that many database and database management solutions vendors such as Progress Software and IBM (for Websphere and Websphere MQ) are embedding the DataDirect products into their products. The interesting point is that they are the ONLY licensed by Microsoft to have access to the source code and developments Microsoft does around ODBC, so they can port to UNIX and Linux the ODBC drivers developped by Microsoft.

Re: ODBC Universe (Unix) to MS Access
To get BCI working from HP-UX 11.00 we had to use the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge, as it was too hard finding and compiling all the necessary parts as 64 bit. It's good software from good guys at a good price (~$1500 US), but it might be overkill for your situation. You could also write a client-side program (VB/Java) that reads the Access database through ODBC/JDBC and writes to UV thru UniObjects. (Okay, it could be server-side also, but you'd have to shell execute / cron it.)
