COBOL data in what form? Flat file? VSAM? ISAM? And from what
platform? I don't think you'll find an ODBC driver for it, but it
shouldn't be any great feat to convert a "flat" file containing data in
mainframe formats into something Access can import.
We purchased a product called Acucobol which also has an ODBC component. I
did our Online Job Application using this to collect information to the
Acucobol db in standard .asp programs using SQL statements etc. It does have
its peculiarities, but it worked fine. Once the acu ODBC has been set up, it
works like any other ODBC. Our apps staff converted our most complex cobol
program into acucobol, and I understand it worked perfectly. It does work
best with batch programs, but it also has a GUI component as well. FYI
