You really *are* screwed, aren't you?

Okay, this is a bad suggestion and I know it, but I feel your pain and 
am compelled to offer a band-aid.  What about using the MS 
Access driver to connect to the table and copy it to a temp table in 
another format (dBASE, CSV, whatever).  Then use the appropriate 
DBD for that format to pull the rows you want from the temp table. 
When done, delete the temp table.

It's ugly but it just might work.

P.S.  Any chance you could find a non-Microsoft driver for Access?
