  @styleplus - why don't you just use MySQL like every other normal person?

  lets think about this... if i had created this DB in access, i would have a copy of it, wouldnt I? So, i wouldnt be here asking for help.

  MS access can be useful, but most projects you inherit based on MS-access are spaghetti, as there is a tendency for new users to use the built-in wizards and create a strangely confusing mess that "almost works"..... they think it's 90% done when it's 90% crap....

  so, the idea of "converting" a file from MS-access may not apply.... you might ask for a schema before you get involved with the project...

  MS-Access is not SQL, some people can migrate from access to Microsoft SQL, but it often requires a huge amount of effort re-determining structure....
