i tried to convert the access tables to txt files then insert it to the phpmyadmin, it is ok when the table has only one field, but when it is more than one, problem arise, it did not display correctly, all the data is loaded to one of the fields, is there a way around this? i forgot how to do this, can you give some pointers on how to overcome this, tried googling but not much help.
TIA
here are your options:
a) use phpmyadmin to import your .sql files (yes phpmyadmin supports it).

b) use your windows/mysql client (console) to connect to the linux/mysqld
server and then create/use the database then execute the command:
mysql> source drive:/location/of/sql/files
* take note of the drive:
c) use your windows/mysql client (mysql admin / query browser,etc) to
connect to the linux/mysqld server and navigate its GUI to import your
sql files.
d) copy your .sql files to the linux box either thru scp, ftp, samba, etc.
and then run the mysql client console, create/use the database then
execute the command:
mysql> source /location/of/sql/files
