I didn't know there was any support for accessing Access databases as you
mentioned but...
http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net -- doesn't look like the support is very
good.. but it's there. to give you read only access to the data, if that is
suitable... if nothing else, could be used to import into another database
format...
