Anyone know if you can use Access data directly in FM 9 with the new
data source features?

Thanks,

Yes you can, though you'll have to pony up $30 for the Actual
Technologies MS Access ODBC driver. But yes, it does work. Works just
like the Actual Technologies SQL ODBC SQL drivers work with FM9.

Happen to know if that driver can be bundled into a runtime?

According to the FM website runtime FM distributions will not work with
external ODBC sources. So if you're going to have a distributed app
its going to have to go out as a regular FM database and each client
computer will have to have FM and the ODBC driver installed.
