ODBC is definitely the way to go but if you do use ODBC then go for the DBI version rather than the Win32 version. This will make life easier when you change database vendors.

I would also recommend avoiding Memo fields whereever possible. Othwerwise you are going to have to connect to the Access database using OLE.
