title: PDO Microsoft Access
body: <p>I am running <strong>linux</strong> from bluehost and have PDO installed.
  I wish to access *.mdb info, however I cannot seem to get past the connection string for PDO in this case.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$dbh = new PDO("odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=$mdb;Uid=Admin");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Generates error:
  SQLSTATE[IM002] SQLDriverConnect: 0 [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified</p>
  
  <p>I know the the path is correct:
  /home1/[Removed]/pss/pss.md</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any solution to this issue using the PDO library?</p>
