So you read passages about Open Office 2 and such but that is NOT Microsoft Access which some are hogtied to.
I'm not going to ask you one question but share a solution.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrix_Presentation_Server
Bingo. Now armed with your Citrix server on your network you can run Access on that and all the stuff will work just as you wanted.

Little confused hear, are you saying instead of Scientific Linux use Citrix server? And if you saying that are you saying no to my original question can I run Microsoft Acces on Scientific Linux? And yes I am "hogtied" to Access and to the Linux.
What I skipped to was a solution.

"It" runs on one machine but is presented on another. This is a solution for those that can't cut loose.
Sorry if you didn't get the solution as presented. Are you familiar with how X Windows works?

But there are workarounds and solutions. I noted the best solution but you didn't seem to understand it. From that I get a glimmer of your exposure to the field. Let me skip to the short answer. No.
Here's one more workaround.
Install VNCSERVER on some Windows box and then VNC over to it from your Linux box to do the MS Access when you need it.
There will be someone that will mention another solution but I've seen it work so infreqently and it takes so much time and effort that I don't think it's a good answer. They will write about WINE.

Ah...Thanks..I think

Yes my exposure to this field is not great. Thankyou for your response. I will check VNCSERVER, hopefully that will work out.
