Unfortunatly the access file in question contains swipe card numbers,
this is read by a win32 app which then talks through the serial port
to the lock system...so I really am stuck with running a windows
machine and using an access97 mbd file to store the data.

(Well actually the mdb file is created via odbc from mysql server
running on this machine)
