Yeah that was what I was expecting to hear. We are using MySQL ofcause (remote), but the boss wanted to have our PHP app. (remote) to speak to some old crappy Windows app. (local) which could use Access if requested of it, and otherwise some DB that dosn't even have ODBC-drivers. As i saw it, only stuff like SQL Server running some Access DB could handle the task and that is out of the question. I thought the idea was way out of date, almost before it was even made suggested aka I thoght the idea was a joke.
