[Qgis-user] "Normal" mdb support possible for "normal" people?

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

yeah, i'm really passionate with that stuff! ;)

ok, so that means that there is something in the pipeline and will be  
available sooner or later (and from my experience with the great  
development of qgis in the past hopefully sooner than later)

Many thanx
Bernd
