I don't think it's a case of 'finding a way'. I think its a case of writing some code. Some pseudo code to get you started: connect_to_mysql(); $ms_Access_handler = use_com_ole_or_odbc_to_open_an_access_db(); while( $row = get_row_from_mysql() ){ $ms_Access_handler->insert_row($row); } $ms_Access_handler->save_db("filename.mdb"); Just a thought.
