What sort of database is the current DB?

Android can connect to most DB types. It won't be a problem to connecting.

What's the plan going forward, is the App going to connect to the DB you mention or a copy of it? Which may well be a DB of a different type, such as SQLLite which Android handles natively.

When i started with android, my first database project was also an converted access database with 140.000 adresses in it. You wrote fields, i think you mean records?! I am very happy with sqliite, most of the time its fantastic in speed etc.; but there are some features, which you maybe not expect: if you make a field Nr with integer and then you store an string, then you get back this string. You dont get any error message! Also the sort order is strange: the first block is string, then integer an so on.

It is a question, which background and tools you have: if you have mostly used access, i would start with on odbc driver, which enables you to link your sqlite file to access. (SQLite ODBC Driver ) So you can mix your data an in queries etc. and transform step by step. A tool, that i licensed is sqlite expert professional: it comes with an data transfer wizard. You can try this tool for 30 days and also use the free personal version. Another free tool is SQLite2009 Pro, with an good help system for SQLite and Lua, an scripting language.
