Not unless they are running it under a Windows emulator; Access itself is a
Windows application and does not have a Linux version.

Yes. I was wondering how well the emulators out there worked.
What prompted this was I was talking to a person that said they were testing
their old FoxPro app on Linux. I was unaware Linux ran MS-Dos programs. Then
I saw a link for running Windows apps under a Linux emulator.

Baffles me why anyone would want to go to that trouble; IIRC mySQL
comes with most distributions to begin with.
They are probably using Samba server and just using the Linux box as a flat
file sharing device. They could just as well be using network attached
storage. The only thing I am impressed with about Samba is that it kind of
looks like a windows server to windows clients and communicates with the old
SMB protocol - hence the name Samba...
I would be interested to hear differently, as in they used some emulator to
run the actual application.

My understanding is that VMWare is completely solid. You are running a real
copy of Windows on software-emulated hardware. Of course, VMWare is not free,
and you have to actually purchase and install a copy of Windows to install on
the VM.
Alternatively, you can run Access using an API emulation layer like wine
(free) or Crossover Office ($). Access will technically run on these, but I'm
not at all sure how well.

I must be confused... so you install VMWare on a Linux box, then load a
license of windows into VMWare? I have used VMWare for years, but never
entertained using it this way... particularly for clients. If I were a big
Linux dev (the kind that doesn't steal SCO/Unix code and claim it...
instilling doubt into the entire future of the OS - don't look, it's just a
small chip on my shoulder) I might be more up to speed. It all sounds kind
of contradictory to me at this point... so anyway...

And for the front-end?
Besides, if you had your "greatest thing since sliced bread"
application written in Access, a potential client with Linux, what do
you do? Re-write your applciation?

I wasn't suggesting it made sense to do this, just that that's a way to do it.

Very much so. It's quite interesting to see a BIOS bootup screen running inside
Windows. Then you see the standard startup screens and so forth. When doing the
initial setup the install mechanism "formats" the empty partition to "create" C drive
and so on.

FWIW check out the WINE project. www.winehq.com. I haven't investigate it closely
lately but I recall a posting or two along the lines of "MS Office apps are the most
work to get running smoothly under WINE." Surprise, surprise.
