[AccessD] Back End On Linux

[Jim Lawrence]

I know this has already been answered but I have been running a couple of versions of MS Access on one of my Linux desktops for years, both FE and BE. I just ran them via a WINE layer.

Thanks.  Will forward.  The guy who acquired my manufacturing system had the request from a prospect.  I don't actually have to do the work.  Just find the solutions. :)

Hi Rocky and Jim

If the Linux system is just a file host/share, all you need a SMB share on the Linux box, usually via Samba which these days is pretty much standard. That’s how all the NAS boxes Work.

2 Simple questions may solve that -
What application facility would you be running on the back-end system to manage the data going in to and being extracted from the .mdb or .accbd file Can that run on the Linux platform to service the links in from the front end systems.

I suppose there are a 3 & 4, and even 5 - What will that cost compared with doing the action on a windows OS - even if that is a version of the OS that will run under a Linux environment How much effort will that take to setup, licence, run, and to maintain What's your pay rate for the hours needed

Dear List:

Can an mdb or accdb back end run on a Linux platform with the front end on a Windows box?


TIA
