MDB Tools (http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/) is a program (Perl, I
think)
that runs on Linux and lets you access Access files. Looks like it’s
read-only, and I haven’t tried it, but might help.

I just saw this today on the Polishing Ruby blog
(http://blog.zenspider.com/):
activemdb (http://rubyforge.org/projects/activemdb). From the rubyforge
project page:
“Lets non-Windows boxes read MS Access (.mdb) files. Uses
ActiveRecord-ish
reflection to parse table and column names. Intended for exploration and
migration, not production. Requires binaries from the MDB Tools project
(
http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/).”

Can OpenOffice’s database open Access files?
Perhaps there is an angle in from there…
