Question : Synch ODBC Tables and SharePoint linked tables in MS Access

My company uses both SharePoint (WSS 3.0) and SalesForce.com.  Integration tools that link the two are quite expensive.  However I have found that I can use MS Access to expose linked tables from the two.  SharePoint natively links to Access and a $90 ODBC driver does the trick to expose the SalesForce tables in Access.  Using this methodology, for example, I could pull the Pricebook data from SalesForce.com and push it into a SharePoint list using an MS Access query, and this works well.  Asside from simple mass pushes, a true synch function (where chagens made in one table are reflected in the other) becomes alot more complex as far as I can tell.  All I can think to do is write a series of insert and update queries using where statements in order to synch the data in the two tables. And run them periodically.  

Is there an easier way to do this? Does Access have some kind of function that I am missing where I can essentially point two linked tables at each other and say "keep them in synch"?
