Well, possible,,, I've never really tried this, so YMMV.
An Access data file can be plugged into the system as an odbc data
source. (run odbcad32admin in Windows XP). I think you need an access
file to start with, so maybe someone can send you an empty file? You
should then be able to manipulate that database with any Windows ODBC
database program (can Open Office Base do this?)
But really, I can't see how this roundabout nonsense can be of any use
to anyone for web hosting.
