Do you mean 1000 tables each? 50k rows is nothing :).

Sometimes ignorance is bliss :).
Could they use access via wine/crossover?
There are tools for migrating from one db to another. Don't know how many
of those count access as a db. If GNU enterprise handles access, which it
should, we've got a couple of GNUe guys in town. One leaves in a couple of
weeks, but I think he's looking to start doing more consulting.
Do you just need the data transitioned or do you also need scripts built
on access and a similar frontend?
BTW, see about getting them all to move to OO.o2 and other Free Software
tools on their m$ boxen. Using Firefox and Thunderbird will solve many of
the security problems. There's a FF module to use the eXploder rendering
engine when necessary.
