What you probably should do is join that Access table to your MapGuide  
feature source and just let the MapGuide interface display the records  
 from the Access table directly. It would be very messy and difficult to  
try to script a link directly back to the .MDB file, and would only work  
for someone who has Access installed on their local machine.

In the MapGuide Studio help files look at these sections:

"Connecting to an ODBC Database"
"Using Feature Joins"
"Specifying the Properties to Display in the Viewer"
