William,

This is no problem as long as the product mention is related
to GDAL in some fashion.

I hope you will follow up on how well this works.   You may find
you need to fiddle with the line:


        sprintf( pszDSN, "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);DBQ=%s",
                 pszNewName );

in gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/pgeo/ogrpgeodatasource.cpp.  It needs
to have the proper name for the driver to be used.   Before fiddling
with that you might want to try the raw ODBC driver.

Best regards,
