A few months ago I converted an M$ Access db to PostgreSQL for testing
purposes.

First, I've installed PostgreSQL ODBC driver and made the
settings so that I could connect to my linux server via that. After,
opened M$ Access and right clicked each database so that I could export
them using ODBC driver of PostgreSQL. I don't remember how I
exactly did it. I don't have a windows near here, so I can't verify these
steps but I'm sure that you'll be able to succeed in converting them. ODBC
driver directly passed the schema and data to PostgreSQL.

Also, http://techdocs.postgresql.org/#convertfrom has some articles for
conversion but i did not test them.
