odbc_connect doesn't return an object, it returns a resource. see (http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-connect.php) so you would need to do something like this.

 $db = odbc_connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=$dbName", $user, $password);
 $oexec = obdc_exec($db,$sql);
  $result[] = odbc_fetch_array($oexec);

and then you can iterate over results..
