A quick way. If you don't have phpMyAdmin running set it up. It has a great import feature. Just dump the access table to a delimited text file. Then go to phpMyAdmin, from the main page - create a new database, or select an existing one. from there scroll down to create a table, enter the table name and amount of fields. Enter all field names and types. Save it, then scroll down to "Insert data from a textfile into a table" and follow the instructions. Its a piece of cake from there.

Is it possible to export data from MS Access into MySQL? If so how? I have a huge amount of data that will take weeks to input and I've convinced my boss to use MySQL rather than any other DB because of it's compatibility with PHP. However I (probably hastily) *assumed* that there would be a way to export the data. Any ideas?
