Depends on what the definition of "using windows" is -- with ODBC you still need Access (or, more correctly, Microsoft Jet) running to serve the database, unless things have changed since I was doing Access work (3-4 years ago). So you can read/write from a linux client, but a windows server has to host the database itself. AFAIK there's no way around that -- that is, no linux-capable program that can read/write Access files.
