One of my customers wants to run an access 97 database on a raq4i.

Is this possible, and if, where can I find a driver for it.

To my knowledge there are no stable releases of ODBC drivers or other access methods for connecting to a MS Access database on Linux.

The only stable solution currently is to run the database on a windows machine and make calls to it from the linux box. Chilisoft ASP, Coldfusion, and other scripting languages (PERL) can handle this.

You may be better off converting the database to MySQL. I know there are utilities to use an Access frontend to use MySQL databases, but I've not used them.

im not sure it can be done, i know ODBC will NOT work for it, but there is a possibility that you could use ADO, i have known this to be done before on shared NT boxes and i dont think it is actually OS specific as the httpd server used asp to access the database.

if you install chilisoft asp on the machine and use ADO to access the database it would be a possibility. i know ultradev has a plugin that will allow you to connect to an access database but i dont know if it is windows specific, keep me updated if you find it is, it would be interesting to know.
