Since SNP is an undocumented proprietary binary file format and, AFAIK, nobody else came up with the glorious idea to use Access to create an ebook, it's extremely unlikely that anybody will put in the work to reverse-engineer this rare format and create an Calibre import filter just for you.
I.e., if you want to get your book published, you'll have to export it in a format the Calibre can handle, preferably .docx or .rtf. (I haven't used Access in ages, but, IIRC, its .mdb files can also be opened by Excel, which has a .docx filter.)

In that case you may want to consider using the services of an ebook service provider. However, I seriously doubt that any of them will accept .mdb or .pnp files.
