[thelist] MySQL export for non-technical client

[Andrew Mottershead]

Hello there,

If you download the free dbtools from http://www.dbtools.com.br/EN/
there is a wizard in this cool tool which allows export from mySQL to
access.

I think it would take you about 10 min to suss it and about 20 min to
work through it with your client.
