Yes, that would work I think. In that case the steps to follow are

1. Install Perl, DBI, and DBD::ODBC on your Windows box.
2. Configure DBI::ProxyServer to meet your security needs.
3. Get dbiproxy running on the Windows box, preferably as a service (but make sure this service has permissions to get at your Access file!)
4. Use DBD::Proxy to connect to your Windows server from the Unix box.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":





---

1. Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
2. Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
3. Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
4. Please read these before you post! —
   • How do I compose an effective node title?
   • How do I post a question effectively?
   • Markup in the Monastery
5. Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

   a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

6. You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)

   	For:		Use:
   	&		&
   	<		&lt;
   	>		&gt;
   	[		&#91;
   	]		&#93;
