CF for Linux does not include an Access ODBC driver.  Access is different 
from database servers like MySQL or MS SQL.  The .mdb file is basically 
just a data file.  The Windows Access ODBC driver uses the MSJet database 
engine (we won't muddy this with MSDE) to become, in effect, the database 
server.

AFAIK, there is nothing with similar functionality available on other 
platforms.

There is a company called Intelligent Converters 
<http://www.convert-in.com> that makes utilities to convert from Access to 
MySQL and back again.  You should check them out.
