NO NO No - what are these Sun Sales guys saying, there is no way a Microsoft
Access Database will work on a Linux machine. Go and give whoever told you
this would work a good talking to and suggest he learns more about what he
sells - Its a good thing you checked first otherwise you would have bought
one and then be arguing over why it didn't work.

On a side note you would be better to look at using MySQL which does work
and would be a lot better - its already on the Qube3 and works with php etc.
