Well, that's what I already thought about recently. Perhaps this is the
only efficient way to handle the problem. Well, I don't need MyODBC
actually, since I am not the original owner of the Access database and I
don't want to take over that project. All I want is to be able to use
their data within my LAMP configuration.

So, it looks like the most efficient way is to export the whole database
from time to time to some ASCII dump and import it finally into a MySQL
database. Suits me fine, in principle. I only HOPED that there might be
another way: say some program which is capable of handling Microsofts raw
database files. But maybe this is too much to ask for anyway.

OK, thanks for all replys.

Regards,
Marko
