The sample GeoDatabase I am using came from the interweb somewhere and
to
utilise the personal geodatabase I first created a System-ODBC
connection to
the MDB file in the Windows ODBC administrator - in my case I called my
sample ODBC connection 'pgeo_somerset'.

Then in Map I did a 'Add OGR Connection' and in the box for datasource
put
this exact format (from the OGR documentation) - ie the "PGeo:" prefix
and
then the ODBC connection name:
    PGeo:pgeo_somerset
