If you already have the datasource setup in ODBC...
Go into access and create a new table, but select "Link" from the
list of options. Then tell it to use ODBC as the datasource and select
the one that links to your Database.
This will then give you a list of the tables in your database and
you can link the ones you like... Make sure to specify the primary keys
for access so that you can update the table.
If you need more help please feel free to email me.
