Note Submitter: jared (who is at) hatwhite * com ---- It is indeed possible to read the data stored in an MSAccess .mdb file while remaining entirely within Linux. It is thanks to the mdbtools project, which created an MDB driver for unix. Up to you to get PHP to move this data around. Here are the links to get you started: Documentation: ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/dbaccess.pdf ODBC on Linux: http://www.unixodbc.org/ MDB driver for the odbc system created above: http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/ Note that on most modern Linux boxen, you can bypass the (documented) command-line configuration and installation of these projects; simply use apt-get or some similar package installer. The documentation link covers more than the mdb driver and is a good place to start for all data access in Linux. Much thanks to the hard work which went into these three projects. -Jared
