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.
