Can your application be configured to use ODBC? If so there are MS
Access ODBC drivers that can read and write Access .mdb files.

unixODBC is here: http://www.unixodbc.org/

The EWasySoft Access driver is here:

I had a quick scan of its write-up: it looks as if it doesn't need any
MS software to work.
