I do this all the time.  Perhaps, I can be of help.  

First of all, do you have Winfax?  If so, I can guide you through the entire
process.

1. Open Winfax.  On the far left side, click Phonebooks to open.  
File-->New-->Phonebook.  Follow prompts until you have your new phonebook
with the desired name.

2. Close Winfax.

3.  Open Access to the desired table in design view.  File-->Export-->The
Export Table dialog box appears.  In the Save In box, click the Drop Down
Arrow and choose Desktop.  In the File Name Box, type the name of your table.
In the Save As Type box, click the Drop Down Arrow and choose either DBase
III or DBase IV.  **Very Important to choose Dbase**Then click the Save All
button.

Your file should now be sitting on your desktop.

4. Open Winfax to the desired Phonebook. Make sure to click that particular
phonebook to make sure it is open.

5. File-->Import--Phonebook. The Import Phonebook dialog box appears.  In
the format box choose Dbase.  **VeryImportant**

6. Click Select.    In the Look In box (Click Drop Down Arrow), choose
Desktop.  You should see your file.  Double click to open.  You should now
see Windows\Desktop\Yourfile.Dbf.  Click Next.

7. Map your fields.  Do this by clicking a field in the left column, then
clicking the same field in the right column, then the Link button in between.
Do this for each field. Click Next.

8.  The phonebooks appear again.  Be sure to choose your desired phonebook
because it is easy to choose the one already opened.

9.  Finish.

Hope this helps.  If you have further problems using Winfax, let me know.  I
might be able to assist.
