There might be a python library for connecting to it, bypassing Access altogether. I think the OP wants to *use* .mdb files on a linux system without using any msjet*.dll libraries.

Python library/module for MSAccess
All: I thought I had seen a python library/module that easily enabled one to read / write / create MSAccess databases a couple of years ago. [My impression is that the Jet Database engine was _not_ required.] Now, I can't find it, or any reference to such a library or module. [I used google, and the module search tools on python. Can somebody point me to an MSAccess library/module that does that? xan jonathon -- Does your Office Suite conform to ISO Standards? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
