Is it possible to use Linux (slack) running MySQL as a Back End, and Microsoft Access as the Front-End/Interface? Any Ideas?
 
There should be no problems there. You will naturally have to install the MyODBC drivers and create a connection the database you want on the computer running Access. From there just link through that MyODBC connection to the tables you want.
