It's kind of hard to answer to such a post :-) _What_ same problem are
you refering to? The MS Access database program currently only runs under
the MS-Windows operating system. If you need to access data that is stored
in an Access database on a machine running MS-Windows you could try and
use ODBC. If you just need to access data stored in an MS-Access database
_file_ you could try the library/toolset from mdbtools (http:///mdbtools.sourceforge.net).
This code is far from production state but it might be all you need to
solve your problems.
