title: ODBC connection to MS-Access on Ubuntu
body: <p>One of our employees created a Microsoft Access Database and has built a Joomla! module around it.  It is currently running on a WAMP server, with an ODBC connection to the accdb file. </p>
  
  <p>How can I create an ODBC connection on Ubuntu for the Access database?</p>
  
  <p>At this point, I'm open to having the DB live locally on my Ubuntu server, or on an SMB share somewhere.<br>
  Moving it from Access to MySql has already been proposed. It may come down to that, but I'm really being pressured to find another option.  </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if this is possible and how to accomplish it?</p>
  
  <p>I'm sorry if this question has already been asked; I truly did look for it already, but couldn't find anything specific to connecting Access via ODBC on Linux.</p>
