mysql and access



Hi people,

I believe the answer to my question is yes, but hearing it from one of
you guys will give me the warm fuzzies... At work, one of the people
here setup an MS access database application which is quickly turning
into a nightmare because it does not use a real database as a back end.
So I'm thinking that perhaps I can help them by setting up some tables
in my mysql database server I have running which would ease up the data
entry problems they are having. So the question is, is it feasible to
have a mysql database running on Linux be used as the back end to a MS
access database application running on windows? If it is, any gottachas
that one needs to be careful of?

Thanks!

Steve.
