The only one I found that creates a good schema that only needs minimal massages, and imports all the data correctly is Access-To-MySQL. It's not free though, but they have a trial. Once I went through my access database and removed certain invalid records (some rows had a screwed up primary key in access that mysql didn't like, and the import would fail), I got a perfect copy of my access database into MySQL.
