Hello, Shaq --

The issue is that you need more than the iODBC Driver Manager to
achieve your goal, and the other components you mention (oplrqb,
iodbc-admin-http.sh) are parts of such other products.

Also, please note that the archives you download are generally
meant to be extracted through use of our install.sh script, which
does more than a simple unzip/untar.

For the desired connection, you will need the OpenLink Multi-Tier
solution, and a Windows instance which is TCP-IP accessible from
your Linux client environment.

You will need to download and install the OpenLink Multi-Tier
Generic Client ODBC Driver, which ships with the iODBC runtime.
For best results, you will also download and install the HTTP-
based OpenLink ODBC Administrator, through which to configure
and manage your DSNs.  These all go in the Linux environment.

You will also need to download and install the OpenLink Multi-
Tier Request Broker and ODBC Bridge Agent, for installation in
the Windows environment which has privileges on the MS Access
database file.

The ODBC Bridge Agent will enable the OpenLink Generic Client to
make use of a native Microsoft Access ODBC DSN in the Windows
environment, transparently delivering full ODBC connectivity to
the MS Access database to the Linux environment.

If you need further assistance in locating the correct components,
or in getting them installed and up-and-running, please visit our
Web-based Support Center, http://support.openlinksw.com/, and
review the documentation there and on our main Documentation site,
http://docs.openlinksw.com/.

If need be, you can open an online Support Case through the Support
Center, using the same email address and password as you supplied
for your download.

Best regards,

Ted
