Use with Personal GDB

First create a System-ODBC connection to the MDB file in the Windows ODBC administrator. E.g. 'pgeo_somerset'.

Then add a new Data Connection to an OSGeo OGR Provider, and in the box for datasource put the exact format from the OGR documentation. In other words, use the "PGeo:" prefix and followed by the ODBC connection name. E.g.: PGeo:pgeo_somerset
