Install ODBC, that would let you interface with degenerate database formats
as access et al.
Your best solution however would be to ditch Access and go a decent
database solution,
one that doesn't tend to break under load (and doesn't impose strange
limitations
on itself with regards to throughput).
(on a totally different not, I'd ditch FP extensions aswell, as they've
proved to be a bit of
a nightmare on the security front in the past, don't know how they're doing
at the moment,
but anything that tries to imitate something undocumented is a no-no in my
production
environments).
