John:
I'm also using Access (95). I could give a hand, but still don't have
much experience. At least I can deal with some of the MS ODBC driver's
most cryptic error messages.

Of course, you would be BETTER off if you do so. I've also done it:
it's very easy to attach MySQL tables to Access (using MyODBC) and
exporting info.
But, if you're planning on using MySQL tables attached via-ODBC to
Access aplications, you would be doing just about one of the worst
combinations in the market: you can hardly find anything slower (short
of looking up data on a card file ;-)).
If you do switch to MySQL you would certainly want to try something
like phpMyAdmin (excellent tool).
