You have to use ODBC, but it sucks. If you're going to use Access on the
Windows side, make sure your all your tables have a timestamp field
(doesn't matter what name). There's some stuff in the MySQL
documentation about setting it up with various apps.
ODBC only really applies to Windows though. If you're going to use a
Unix based program to talk to a Unix based database, the language you
use to code the program will more than likely have bindings for the
database in question. (Perl DBI, PHP Pear/native, C/C++ loads, Python
loads..)
You can use ODBC in a Unix environment but it doesn't make much sense I
think.
Donncha.
