[Rdap] Archiving data in a Microsoft access database

[Magle,Tobin]

Hi all,
I was speaking with a researcher today about putting a large dataset into our repository. Part of the data is stored in a Microsoft access database. I know that we can export individual tables and store them as .csv/.tsv files for preservation, but the researcher is concerned about losing the linkages from the tables to raw data files (in this case interview audio) that are stored in Access.
Has anyone encountered similar situations? If so, is there a straightforward way to preserve these links? I was thinking of hand linking them somehow through metadata, but I wanted to get some external advice first.
Thanks,

-          Tobin
