An easy way to view MS Access tables?


I have inherited an old web dev project that is currently running in Access. All my new code is being set up in MySQL. But there are some old sections of the site that run just fine, and I don't need to touch 'em. However, I do need to be able to read the old tables from time to time - not in my code, just me, personally, so I can see what they've done.

Can anybody suggest a tool or easy technique for viewing the contents of an Access table under Linux?

I know I could set up a more complicated mechanism using PHP scripts etc. But I'm hoping somebody will say, "Yeah. Just download msaccessviewer.rpm and away you go." or something like that.

Any suggestions?

Well, it's not as simple as "msaccessviewer.rpm", but OpenOffice.org can do that for you. I think instructions are on oooforum.org, although I haven't been able to connect to them this morning to be sure. I have recently switched from MSAccess/WinXP to MySQL/OOo/Linux, so have been researching this myself.
Good luck,
Bill
