Ok so I have this database in MS Access and I want to put it into a mysql database, when I do that what does my database look like in mysql does it convert all of my tables into mysql look and commands? I am assuming that is will not look like the Ms Access does. Also is it easier to make a database in MS Access and convert or just use the mysql right off the bat?

Well that depends on how you do it. You could keep the same tables or you could redesign the tables. Also you might want to change your design based on the capabilities of the target database.

If you are doing a quick port, and you don't have time for a major redesign, just keep things the same. MySQL should support everything that Access did, so it's unlikely that you will hit on any problems.
