No what I meant was is there a reason you couldn't run a version of MySQL
on the Windows box. That way you might be able to have MySQL on the
Windows system reading the info with a somewhat more native(?) odbc and
let the Windows MySQL replicate the data up on the LAMP machine. Never
tried replication -- but it might be less painless than the Linux odbc
route.
