I know this is a late response...

MySQL is just a database engine. Access is a set of pretty good Window tools
wrapped around a very lightweight (and not in the good way) database engine.

MySQL the database engine is designed to run on everything from Windows and Macs
to Mainframes. You use Access WITH mySQL, instead of mySQL replacing Access.

Google for things like "RAD" or "rapid application developement tools". Most
will have ability to work with mySQL databases.
