Apparently you can configure ODBC to share resources remotely. I can't
say I've ever done it or know where to start. But if you can do this,
then I would suggest that this would mean that Windows accesses the
database and you can use plain ODBC which should be better supported.

What version of MDB tools are you using and have you compiled unixODBC
with mdb tools support?
