Great intro Grant! I have a question...my situation requires an Access database running on a windoze XP box for the main office proprietary application. I am writing another browser application using PHP and MySql on a Linux box that will use data from the Access database and add considerable functionality. Previously I have tried odbtp here in my office with limited success but am wondering if MDB2 has the ability to connect my Linux PHP application to Access mdb files on a windoze box? Thanks for your insight, Ron »
