ODBC is more like a framework. You need the separate drivers for the
databases you want to access. Now, on your windows machine, ODBC will
probably work, as both ODBC and the Jet-ODBC driver were installed with
MS-Access (Access uses the "Jet" engine to access his database). The
machine accessing the database should have the driver installed. So the
Linux server should have an ODBC driver for MS-Access. I don't know if
one exists for Linux.
Best regards
