Hi all, Im working ina medical group that uses Microsoft Access,

is there any software that can interact with Access?


If you're thinking about doing some lightweight work with Access from
Linux, and it's OK for it to be Perl-based, you might want to check out
DBI::ProxyServer.  The idea is that you have a proxy server running on a
Windows machine that talks to Access using ODBC, and a Perl program on
Linux that talks to the server.

another perl solution is to export everything in csv format and use DBI with the DBD::CSV module (package libdbd-csv-perl). you can access the exported tables with sql statements: quite fast, very powerful! (been there, done that)

pietro.
