Hi. Whats the best way to write to MS Access (.mdb) databases on Mac OS? I have a project that I'd like to port (quickly) to Mac OS and I'm thinking about using something cross-platform such as Mono.

Can anybody recommend a good place to start? Do I really have to scrap my .mdb files and export into something else?

I quite like the .mdb files on Windows given that the Jet database engine is pretty much part of all Windows versions these days.

Cheers

Why not switch to sqlite for example?

+1 for SQLite. Drop Access as soon as possible. Also, you can easily embed sqlite.dll in your application for portable Windows installation, the library is really small.

Uh, Access is not involved -- only Jet.
