wine users - Aug 2009 - program using mdb file

Dear list users:

I would like to use a program with wine that operates with microsoft mdb
database file.
The program reads from and writes to the database.

A few things about the program:
It works on all versions of MS Windows starting from Windows 98SE.
It is called ORKA and is used by doctors for maintainig  list of and printing
prescriptions.
It is available at:

direct link:

According to the developers it requires only Microsoft Jet 4.0, and for win98,
MSXML 4.0.

I was able to install the program and run it using wine. It can read the
database, however it seems it can not write to it. Every changes in the data are
lost when saved.

I installed in wine (using winetricks) mdac 2.5, mdac 2.7, jet 4.0, dcom98.
I tried different setups but could not make it work.

Please help me with this as I do not want to install MS Windows on my computer.

Thanks in advance,
Bela

Oke, Bela

I have a program installed wich also writes to a mdb database.
For me it worked after "sh winetricks corefonts mdac28 jet40 msxml4"
in a
default xp bottle

Hope this will help you..
