I already replied to Michael which must be already aware of the meaning of that file extension (which designates in fact a Microsoft Jet 3.0 or 4.0 Engine datafile, but not strictly and only a Access datefile). this format is now deprecated by Microsoft itself, as stated on MSDN, where its previous documentation is now hard to find (the actual documentation is probably now in the printed reference book, unless one can say where this old documentation is now in MSDN Library... Shamely, many links for reference APIs and papers in the MSDN site disappear at each major release of a Office or Windows product, and the online Search engine cannot always find where these documents were rearranged... For those interested on the subject of MDB files supported on other platforms than Windows, look at the "MDBTools" project for Linux/Unix on SourceForge.
