how many tables is this database? is there more to it than just
tables? (Access isn't really a database, its a data-centric rapid
application development system). postgres won't do the reports, forms,
macros, etc (ok, it has user definable procedures/functions, but they
aren't in vbasic, and they don't work anything like access programs do).

if its just a few tables, it might just be easiest to dump those tables
as CSV files, then import them one by one into equivalent tables in
postgres via COPY FROM
