Is there an automated way to take an access 97 database and port it to mysql
DTS (Microsoft Data Transformation Services) can do this for you really well. (comes with SQL server). There may be OSS data migration tools, but I'm not aware of them. I found a few ones on the web, but they were all of the $50 USD variety.
.. and convert the forms for php access using apche?
You want something which converts an access windows form (access-proprietary resource, tied to vbscript) to a php webpage (html + php script)? This is like asking for an automated tool to port the linux kernel 2.6 binaries to commodore 64 basic code... If that doesn't make it clear enough, then in a nutshell "shit no, that's impossible bro."
