Hi all.

Is there a way to automatically open a Microsoft access database on a windows machine from a linux box automatically? I don't need to read the db, make changes, update, etc. All I need to do is open the file. Something like Windows task manager that will do this?

Thanks,
 
You can open it with every hex-editor, like `od`. You need some daemon to get access (network~), like `sshd`.

The task manager doesn't open files on its own, does he? I don't know about graphical daemons; VNC is a protocoll, used on Linux, to view a remote desktop.

Another idea is to share the file(s) and to use wine to open Windows programs.
