hello

i was wondering if one could use MySQL on windows xp and MS access on linux?

[office politics]

i've installed mysql on xp.

dunno if there's any gui apps for ms access on linux but you could prolly find a ms access odbc driver for linux.

thanks for the reply

what does the ODBC driver do?

[bla!!]

ODBC = Open Database Connect

It's like a go-between for database backends and front-ends.
