First: Thanks for the fast response :-)

But,.. yes I am the guy who asked about accessing Access database on
Linux.
My idea is the following:
At my company we are running 4 Win95 PC's on a network which works
sometimes
and crash sometimes (some days no reboot, some days 5-10 times).
Now I am tired of the whole Win stuff, and I will install an Linux
Server
with Samba. (OK, the clients are still Win95, but at least the server is
linux).
We use also a software which is based on Access. The whole database (mdb
files) will reside on the Linux server.
So far so good.
But now, I want to extract some information out of the access database
to
create html files which everybody in our company is alowed to view.
And for this I need "access to Access".

Thats the whole story. I'm searching also for a format description 
of access, but I did not find anything (up to now!).

bye
