This is not a conversion program, but if you search on google with
this search string:

   odbc mysql "microsoft access" filetype:pdf

the first hit is a good discussion on Access-type programming in
Linux. The search returns several hundred links, maybe some of them
have more info -- but I haven't looked at any of them other than
that first hit, which I downloaded and keep threatening to learn just
as soon as I get some free time! :-)
