The simplest solution would be to do create a delimited flat-file. I think access will take either tab-delimited or comma-separated-values. To create such a file try something like this...

SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
SPOOL mytable.csv
SELECT '"'||fname||'","'||lname||'","'||phone||'"' FROM mytable
/
SPOOL off
