Eric-

         If your people have always-on Internet connections then take a 
look at myODBC. Once you have set up the mySQL database you can import the 
data through myODBC and you can have the people enter their data into the 
same forms they use in the Access database but use linked tables to write 
it to the mySQL database on the server. It works pretty well.
