Connect to Microsoft Access Database from XCode

Question

I've been tasked with writing a Mac App in xcode 4.3 that can search and display data from a publicly available MS Access Database that's updated regularly. For this reason, I can't just convert the file to a different database platform. I've searched the depths of Google and can't find anyone else attempting such a task.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You may try to use 3rd party tools that provide connectivity like actualtech one. http://www.actualtech.com/product_access.php
I personally never tried this one, but it looks promising.

I believe there are no native Microsoft support for other platforms than Windows.
