Can MS Access be used on *Nix? If so, what's required to setup and connect to an Access database?

No it can't

That's not true.

Example is in Perl. I heard they people were doing it with PHP too, but I don't know the specifics on it.

I believe what Monte is saying is that there is no way to do it without jumping through loops.

Quite right.
Ms Access is a pain on Windows.
Linux just makes it worse.

Anything is possible.

But I wouldn't use Access on nix again unless there was no other option.

What I was saying is you cannot run Access on a Linux box. If your read the FAQ you posted they are running Access on a Windows box and connecting to it from a Linux box. That is a whole nother ball game.

I stand by my post you cannot install and run Access on a Linux box, if you find someone doing it and can show it to me I will send $10.00 to you by pay pal.

just $10.00?
