Is Realtime access to Zoho creator from MS Access possible?

Is Realtime access to Zoho creator from MS Access possible?

I have a client who wants to be able to view data from their zoho database inside MSAccess in realtime for reporting.
I can see API calls in the zoho help documentation about writing zoho records from Access and web sites etc but nothing that allows me to pull data into an Access database or just view it in access.

There are two things being asked for.
1) The ability to view realtime data in MSAccess for reporting.
2) Pull data data directly from zoho forms into corresponding forms from MS Access using so that they have a fallback position of an offline reference copy of zoho data in the event of losing their internet connection.

Are either of these possible and if so can you point me to some documentation or sample codes.

Thanks
