@Work requires me to manipulate the MS Access database (mdb) file located on an XP box that is an integral part of a third party application that is central to the business. Does anyone have experience doing so? I have used odbtp in the recent past but it is extremely difficult to set up on the linux box as I learned when I recently upgraded from CentOS 4.x to 5.x. Is there another way to get read and write access to the mdb file from apache/php running from the linux box? A couple of hours of googling last night has resulted in finding very expensive odbc drivers for the linux box and nothing really foss except the odbc driver managers.
