Hi Rainer and John,
Thanks once again for your continued help. I have actually tried out
mdbtools. I was able to get going on ubuntu. Unfortunately, to my
disappointment, it was not helpful in my specific case. Because the access
database is on a server which can be accessed only on windows and not from
ubuntu (for administrative reasons beyond my control).
When I copied the mdb file over to ubuntu, I saw only synonyms and no
tables (because I had no contact with the server).
Thanks for the suggestion of serial number. I will check and see if any
change is possible.
