They are not files created by Access, but am told that they
are standard access .mbd files. Since the file will be on the unix
system, Access isn't an option to export the data, so it looks
like I'll be using PERL to access and write out flat files.

I was looking for a more direct UV->.mbd solution (with minimal
costs and implementation).

Thanks

I've imported data from mdb before, the simple way is
to export the files to a tab delimited and convert the
tables to UV.  If you do your dump with the field
names in the header you can even use those names to
build your data dictionnaries.

Another way would be to use .NET to open the .mdb
files and use UniObjects to connect the two.
