JJ> The three things that bit me repeatedly:

JJ> Boolean types in Access were not the same in mySQL. Went with int (1/0).

JJ> Filenames are case sensative all of a sudden. We thought we had followed good 
naming conventions.  We had, but not perfectly! Most significant were image files and 
rollovers.

JJ> Moving the dbs was interesting, making sure the dbs were ported in the correct 
order. (constraints forced the proper sequence)

JJ> But it really wasn't very difficult.
