ODBC Driver for MS Access

Actual Technologies today announced its , which allows a Mac user to retrieve data from Access databases with applications such as Excel and FileMaker, using queries to populate spreadsheets, charts, and graphs with live data. The native Mac solution for connecting to Access databases does not require the use of a separate Windows machine to communicate with the Access database: "Anyone familiar with setting up an ODBC connection on a Windows machine will feel at home with the configuration wizard, while Mac users will experience the native OS X interface and ease of use that they expect." The driver can also be used to incorporate Access connectivity into third-party applications or even custom software written in REALbasic, Carbon, Cocoa or PHP. The Actual ODBC Driver for Microsoft Access is available for less than $30 per license, with no minimum licensing requirements.
