There is a lot of different ways....

 

You can write a custom conversion script that will extract the data from Access and insert it into MySQL.

You can export the data from Access, then, again using a custom script, insert it into MySQL.

There is a MySQL ODBC connector that you can use to go directly between Access and MySQL, however your table structure would have to be EXACTLY the same for it work...and even then there is no guarantee.

 

There is no easy way however...at least not without using some sort of conversion product...which probably isn't free.

 

Make sure you have a back up of both databases before you try anything......
