Open Microsoft Access Files

This may seem like a weird title! After all, what’s the big deal with opening .mdb files? However, there’s some of us out there (me inclusive) that don’t use Microsoft Office. Instead, we rely on free stuff like OpenOffice. So I found a nice utility called “MDB Browser and Editor” that lets you open your legacy .mdb databases :) Its free and I gave it a try, works pretty well. So check it out if you need to.

PS – Actually, OpenOffice does have a way to import existing Microsoft Access files into its database format. However, I couldn’t get this to work with my old password-protected .mdb database.
