Pear does not directly support Access -- but it supports ODBC and  
that'll work, otherwise you could use the PHP ODBC functions. 
 
www.php.net/odbc 
http://pear.php.net/package/DB 
 
Avoid the Microsoft SQL Server functions like the damned plague if you  
are using Windows for you webserver.  They entirely suck -- I wrote my  
own wrapepr for that includes OCI8 MySQL and ODBC seems to work great  
with SQL Server.
