MS Access on Linux Server

Hello,

I have been searching and searching, but have had no luck with this.

Is there a way to run MS Access on a Linux server from what I can tell, I
need to have unixODBC compiled with PHP, witch I do.

However I am looking for a step by step guide if there any out there.

Or is there anyone that has had luck doing this, that maybe could give me
some hits.

Thanks very much for any help,
Jeremy Ross

Hi Jeremy,

MS Access is a win32 database program from MS that is data "file" based.
Win32 means that the program only runs on Windoze and file meaning there is
no backend component. You can setup a data file created in Access and server
it to a Windws client running Access or a browser through PHP odbc. You
could also share the file across a network to Win clients running access,
and a SAMBA share on linux. SAMBA is linux's daemon or service for sharing
files using SMB (Server Message Block). NetBIOS over TCP/IP, ports
137,138,138.

I use Access as an "upsize" tool. In other words, you can quickly design
tables, import and export data to CSV text, design SQL queries. Then upload
to SQL. I use MSSQL, and mySQL for Cold Fusion and PHP web applications.
