in reply to DBD driver for MS Access

Use DBI and DBD::ODBC (steer away from Win32::ODBC as when you migrate to a 'better' database system you won't need to change much). I would recommend using MySQL instead of Access databases though: it's free and multi-platform PLUS it supports larger tables than Access (ok, so it hasn't got the handy GUI interface but still)...
