You can use the Access ODBC-Driver on the Widows box and export it to
your Linux machines using the (commericial) ODBC-ODBC-Bridge.
(http://www.easysoft.com/products/2002/main.phtml)

Then it's no proble at all to access the Aceess Files, Even Excel
Sheets and so on from Linux/Unix using for example mxODBC.

Hope this helps
