Oh, sorry. There's been a misunderstanding.
That tutorial I pointed you to tells you how to setup MySQL, which is different from Microsoft-SQL.
If you want to work with Microsoft Access databases, you'll probably have you use Microsoft SQL.
MySQL Standard is free (this is what you just downloaded), MySQL Pro is $595.
Microsoft SQL (also known as MS-SQL) is $4999, or $1489 for the limited-to-5-users version.
The reason I assumed you wanted MySQL instead is because you actually mentioned "MySQL". Plus you used the words "download free", which don't belong in the same sentence with most Microsoft products. But I should have known something was wrong when you said "Is there a MySQL file download free from MS or something?", because MySQL doesn't come from Microsoft.
