Sending data from Wordpress to Access db

I have successfully Added my Access db name and path to the ODBC Data Source Administrator.  What is the next step to be able to send data from a member sign-up form in my WordPress website to the Access db?  How do I open the code window of the ODBC manager?

Just to add, if you are using your access db for your members you can use any of the php connectors. I use php with MS SQL on a regular basis.  I have never tried, but would think you can use pdo http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php and just use your connection string that you have used in your asp pages.

If you do not need a very custom membership, there will be wordpress plug ins for this type of thing.

I have also just created asp pages hat accepted a post to handle data and in my wordpress page, set up a function that called my asp processing page either direcly or via ajax.    That may be an easier way to get running with your custom app.
