It depends, none of the free drivers are complete, they are usually missing one
feature or another. The Gemini driver (commercial) works well, and the Easysoft
driver (also commercial) should work well. Now a comment about Access, it's
probably one of the worst ways to access a C/S database, unless your really really
careful and make sure that all Queries are database native mode.
