MS Access eh?  Not sure if you'll find this useful at some point, but there's 
a Windows tool called DBTools that I've used to move database structures from 
Access to MySQL if you want to give your client the same database in Linux. 

DBTools is a Windows only tool, but it's a real gem if you are stuck 
administrating a MySQL installation from Windows, or if you need to transfer 
data from Access to MySQL.  You can then integrate MySQL with OOo or a web 
server or whatever.
