Converting the tables shouldn't be too hard.  Providing an interface may
be.  MS Access is comprehensive - it provides form and report tools
which backend databases like PostgreSQL do not.  How will users
interface with the data?

I found a tool called 'gedafe' recently that I've started playing with.
It reads the structure of a PostgreSQL database from the database's
system tables, and automatically generates a web interface to that
database.  Depending on what you'd like to accomplish, it might be worth
looking into.
