you could use myodbc (www.myodbc.com) to connect access to the mysql =
server, problem might be getting a port to connect on as your host may =
have them shut for security reasons.

I generally use CSV files and download them with a cuteftp macro and =
import them via a command button.

Subject: MS Access conversion on UNIX???


Is there a program, script, php function... anything... that will take a
mysql database or flatfile database and load the values into a MS Access
database that will run on a UNIX server?

I have a client that needs to take registration information from a web =
based
form and have the information automatically be put into a MS Access
database.  I only host clients on UNIX servers though.  I know it is
possible to do this on a Windows type server, but is there anyway to do =
it
on a UNIX server?

I thought about creating a delimited file that the client could import =
into
a MS Access database, but I believe they want the process automated.

Can it be done on a UNIX server?

Thanks,
