Yes it is possible. Its actually very easy aswell. You can learn how to make a simple and safe connection to an Access database here. The problem though is that there isn't many providers who supply a DSN for Access databases. Look around though im sure you will find something.

Better yet, try the ADOdb library. Search adodb on google.
