The only possible way is with wine see www.winehq.com. And I doubt
it runs very well. Last time I looked anyhow. Click on AppDb on the
left hand menu and search for more details. Also notice how most of
the top ten list is games. That'll tell you where a "boring" business
app like Access fits in.

For that matter why not setup WINE, test and submit bug reports to the
Wine folks.

Or if there is an equivalent product to Virtual PC or VMWare which
runs on Linux so you can run an appropriate Windows version.
