It’s All About That (Data) BaseĪccess is no longer hidden behind a premium paywall in the way it used to be, but there are still plenty of people who don’t have access (no pun intended) to the software. Given how popular Office 365 is these days, there’s bound to be someone within shouting distance who has Access installed on their computer, so it’s worth a shot at least.

Specifically, it’s worth asking someone who does have Access to convert the file into a different format for you. Convert It With (Someone Else’s) AccessĬheekily, we’re going to suggest using Access again in an article about not using Access. It’s not a recommended method, but if nothing else works, it can’t hurt. However, the snippets of plain text contained within did provide clues as to what sort of database the file contained. With the MDB files we opened with Notepad, the majority of the content was a garbled mess.
