You're right.  It will be run on Windows.  I discarded some other platform
due to the difficulty of supporting this file format.
 

You can use ODBC or DAO.
An DAO solution that I wrote (and use) can be found
at:

Thanks!  I'm looking at it. 


For ODBC you would just use the standard library module.

Thanks.  I'll be trying the DAO first.
Note that DAO is a very old library, and nowadays ADO would probably be 
the preferred method in the Windows environment (can DAO even *use* 
oledb providers?). ADO libraries are available - see

  http://www.markcarter.me.uk/computing/python/ado.html
for example, or Google for "python ado". Bottom line, there are many 
ways to skin this particular cat.
