It will be hard to write C++ code that will allow you to interact with an Access database across different platforms.
Because Access is a Microsoft thing... I would suggest looking into the ODBC API for Windows... but also look into the ODBC API for Linux... Both will allow you to interact with an Access DB. That will give you atleast one more platform.
I dont know much about the ODBC on Linux, but I was told the other day by a Linux "guru" that it works quite well. He said he hasn't had any problems connecting to an Access DB.

well it depends on how you want to do it... MFC or API?
MFC -> take a look at CRecordset and CDatabase....
there are also classes derived from CRecordset like CDaoRecordset
API
Here is a link:

Would it be out of line for me to recommend learning the language first before trying to do anything complicated?

But that's my point - you won't understand a working application if you don't know the language.
I'd suggest getting the basics together (structure, data types / sizes, pointers, arrays) and then you'll find it a lot easier rather than spinning your wheels on pointers (which I can guarantee will happen if you don't learn them first).

just as you do in VB I thinl - the COM interface of access databases (DAO) exists in C++ too.
