If so there are MS Access ODBC drivers that can read and write Access .mdb files. unixODBC is here: http://www.unixodbc.org/ The EWasySoft Access driver is here: http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc-access-driver/index.html I had a quick scan of its write-up: it looks as if it doesn't need any MS software to work.
