Please help me with this database server

Well, it isn't a database server just yet, but it will be as soon as I install MySQL on my Redhat Linux 7.2 box. Now I need to know if it is possible to connect to this server from MS Access on a Windows XP box or if not, what other program(s) I need to be able to do this. Please, any advice?
 
What do you mean by connect? If all you need is to transfer the data, then you can export to a comma-delimeted flat file, then import it into the other database. If you want to query the other database, then you'll need an ODBC driver (i'm not saying there isn't other ways - I don't know about MySql a whole lot). From a Google, there is something that is called MyODBC which should do the trick, but maybe not that well.
 
Basically I want programs in Windows to be able to utilize the database from the Linux system over the network. Thanks for suggesting the MyODBC thing, I'll check that out as soon as I can.
