Whatever anyone else tells you about previous steps,...

When you get to the part about uploading to PostGres remember the SQL:

LOAD DATA INFILE <filename> INTO <tablename>

If PostGress doesn't allow LOAD DATA INFILE... then switch and use MySQL.
You may have to upgrade as this is a recently accepted addition to SQL
as far as I can tell.
The best discussion I have EVER seen on LOAD DATA INFILE ...
is in the DeBOIS book on MySQL.

Also there is a phpMyAdmin which is web page based which SHOULD work to
make your life a LOT easier.

And last, though I haven't done it yet, the whole process might be
automated with a perl script.... where you just skip the ACCESS database step.

I hope at least some of this helps....
