I noticed that Message-ID: <42b3f2ec$0$38037$5a6aecb4@news.aaisp.net.uk>
from Mike MacSween contained the following:

The way I have done this in the past is to export the access database
then update the MySql database like so:
# Connect to the database
mysql_connect($sql_db,$sql_id,$sql_pwd);
# Delete the current content of the table
$result = mysql_db_query($sql_db,"DELETE FROM $table") or die ("Invalid
DELETE query");
# Optimize the current table (recover empty space)
$result = mysql_db_query($sql_db,"OPTIMIZE TABLE $table") or die
("Invalid OPTIMIZE query");
# Load local comma separated, fields enclosed by quotes text database -
File has to be in the same directory of this file
$result = mysql_db_query($sql_db,"LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'exporteddata.txt' INTO TABLE $table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' ENCLOSED
BY ''") or die ("Invalid DATA LOAD query");
# Get how many records are present in the table now
$result = mysql_db_query($sql_db,"SELECT * from $table") or die
("Invalid SELECT query");
$rows_count = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "Records: $rows_count"; mysql_free_result($result);
