Hi Rocky: Samba is the connection protocol manager that allows a Linux user to fully access all the Windows Server/PCs and printers and usually installs currently on all Linux desktop distributions unless specified otherwise (as default). It generally sets it self up automatically but if manual intervention is required it can be a pain as Windows network protocols standards tend to be a moving target. You probably do not have to worry about this though as a backend on a Windows box will just require appropriate credentials, username and password to allow access and that is all.

Access Frontends may run with either Wine or Mono on Linux although which higher version of Access, may run I don't know. Access 97 should be okay.
