Is it possible to access MS Access Databases through a Linux base

[Guest]

We are re-designing an existing database that uses MS Access but some of the
future users will have to have full access to the databases using Linux
based OS and database program.

They will have to be able to make changes update etc. If this possible any
thoughts and recommendations on which Linux based program to use. If this
part is possible I will have a question on the graphical front end we now
use.
Thanks

Either move the data to Oracle / MySQL & make a new App
or access it via terminal server

No, I am not aware of any solution here.

I mean, I have to assume you have some code in this appcation?

I can't take an application from the mac, or other steems, and run that
software on Windows. (and, of couse, you can't do the reverse either).

If you mean that Linux users need access (no pun intended) to the data in an
MDB, rather than to the Access application, then I would have thought it
should be possible using ODBC. I know almost nothing about Linux. I'm
assuming it supports ODBC as it is such a widely used standard?

You could also use a server-side technology such as ASP or ASP.NET. As these
technologies execute on the server, and return only standard HTML and
JavaScript to the client, the output can be viewed on any computer with a
web browser.

You might get a more definitive answer in a Linux forum.
