Hi, Just a further point of interest. If you want connectivity between an MS Access database and a linux application, you don't need samba. There are some quite nice WINNT/WIN98 ODBC socket servers available. The client code is very simple and runs on most operating systems.
Your linux client issues SQL commands, which are fowarded to the socket server. A response is generated and returned in an XML format. I have been using this type of connectivity with linux and qnx clients. Approximately 10,000 MS Access database queries can be handled per hour (on the network at work). Get to the freshmeat site and use ODBC as the search keyword. This is a far simpler approach and may be what you are looking for.
