Migrating from Access to MySQL is trivial.  Dump the output of your Access
tables into a CSV text format or some other delimited format.  Then use MySQL's
LOAD DATA SQL statement or its included program "mysqlimport".

http://www.mysql.com/  Be sure to check for differences between MySQL and
Access.  Access supports referential integrity; MySQL does not.  There are
probably some other subtle differences that may affect your migration, but I
doubt you'll run into anything major.
