This is absolutely not true. Although there isn´t a direct way to connect to Access from PHP (like you can do with PosgresSQL) you may connect to access using an ODBC connection. The only thing they have to do is Configure an ODBC DSN in their server pointing to your specific DB file and that´s it.

You shouldn't need to install MySQL to use MS Access. Seems like they are giving you excuses to avoid any extra work on their part. I would suggest you switch web-hosting companies if they are behaving this way. Hostpro.com is one that supports PHP and Access. PS: I am not affiliated to hostpro in any way accept as a satisfied customer.
