I'm contemplating changing my webhosts from a Windows 2000/IIS environment to a *nix/Apache environment. Most of my current websites are coded in ASP and read content from MS Access databases. If I were to switch hosts (provided I recode everything from ASP>PHP), should I still be able to use my Access database files or do they have to be converted into MySQL databases?

most likely you'll need to convert them to mysql. most *nix/apache hosts don't support reading from access dbs, to my knowledge.
