Thats a toughy.. Your best bet is going to be dump the database to text, then find an importer into MS Access.. Yes, I know you said you don't have access, but I don't think you'll be able to create the access database without it. Mabey you have a friend or something with it.
There are a bunch of contributed programs here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Contrib.html that might help you convert the mysql dump into something you can import into access, then you'll have your file. Otherwise an odbc conduit into access would most likely be best. sorry bro, I don't know of much else.
