If you are using MS Access, the easiest way is to export the tables via the ODBC 
driver. Simply right click on your table name, then click export. At the bottom of the 
list there the ODBC option. I haven't had any problems using this method of 
transferring tables, other than the fact that MySQL does not like tables with spaces 
in the names or field names, so you would have to change those first.

Good Luck!

  Subject: Duplicate Entry in Key 1


  Hello,
  I have searched the mailing list for this topic, but didn't find a match vor
  my problem.

  I am working on Linux Mandrake with MySQL 3.23.33 installed from the RPMs
  for Mandrake. I am trying to convert a ACCESS database to MySQL using a perl
  script. The script makes connections to the ACCESS database via ODBC and to
  the MySQL database. The script works find in converting several tables. On
  one table it fails with saying "duplicate entry in key 1" with "key 1" being
  the primary key. Two funny things:

  1. There isn't a duplicate entry for this key. Checked this over and over
  again.
  2. It is not the same key. Each time I run the script it gives me a
  different key. Of course, I do drop the table first.

  Can someone help me??
  Thanks,
  Tobias.
