After some more research, I found this A2M tool from Bullzip and used it to move access to mysql. We will be moving forward with that, and using Access as a front end to use Forms and other reports for the data on mysql that mapguide can also attach to.
Now to get Mapguide to use the mysql DB!
Thats the next step.
Thanks you two!

Ray,
Mateusz Loskot got OGR's PGeo driver working on linux using mdbtools, and
documented his steps at:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/mdbtools
But my opinion is that this is a pretty difficult to setup situation and
fragile at the best of times.
Best regards,
