Hi Ivan, Check out the ODBC chapter in Professional PHP4 (Wrox Press) and also read the PHP HOWTO at www.iodbc.org for an explanation of ODBC in PHP - the short answer to your question "can I connect to Access" is "maybe". A lot of it depends on your platform and available drivers.

Hi All, I'm new in PHP and I whether I can open a MS Access database file directly with PHP? There is a thing called ODBC but in the function odbc_connect(), The first parameter is something called dsn, what's that? And does that mean I can't open the MS Access database directly by somehow only giving it's path? Thanks.
