There are a few Linux DB packages that allow you to access Access
(no pun intended). I belive one is from intersolv
(www.intersolv.com). They sell a 'client/server' package to
allow a Linux box client to access a DB (running a server) on
another system using OODB.
I will verify the name of the company and post it tomorrow (it's
in my work email).
