php for local MS Access mdb containing local table and linked table

[hovercraft]

I can connect to a local mdb via PDO. I can access data contained in the local table in the local mdb. What I can't seem to do is to access data contained in a linked table in the same mdb. The linked table actually resides on another server but I am able to link to it via a network drive or fully qualified name.
Any help would help a heap!

<?php

	echo "This is before the odbc happens <br />";

try{

$dbName = "D:\\Websites\\thisismysite.net\\test.mdb";
$db = new PDO("odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=$dbName; Uid='Admin'; Pwd='';"); 
 	
	$sql  = "SELECT * FROM Tickets1";  

	$sql .= " WHERE TicketLastName = 'SMITH'";  
    
//	 $sql  = "SELECT * FROM tbl_names";  

//	 $sql .= " WHERE lastname = 'SMITH'"; 
		$result = $db->query($sql);  
echo "test - before while";
		while ($row = $result->fetch())
		{
		echo "test - in while";
$LastName = $row["TicketLastName"];
//$LastName = $row["lastname"];
	echo "hello ";

echo $LastName;	} 
		
	}

catch (PDOException $e)
		{
			print "ERROR: " . $e->getMessage(). "<br/>";
			//die();
		}
			      
echo "<br />This is after the odbc happens";
	
 ?>

The comments are the parts I've been using to toggle back and forth between the local table and the linked table. I do not recieve an error with the linked table, just no data and the code seems to stop without echoing "this is after the odbc happens"
