[Qgis-user] ArcGis mdb file

[William Kyngesburye]

On linux, it uses the mdbtools library, and accesses the MDB thru  
ODBC.  while it works on Linux, I've had trouble getting it to work on  
OSX, and I'm STILL waiting for a bug fix on another ODBC Access  
driver :(  So really, only OSX is out of luck for now.
