    MDB files
    « on: May 02, 2010, 01:17:37 PM »
    I have a file in my computer that ends with .mdb. My gf is the suspicious type and thinks that this is a database of all the women that I am sneaking around with. How can I open this file and reveal its contents?

    Microsoft Access.

    I might also add that your girlfriend isn't very logical. Why would you be keeping a list in the first place? lol

      I don't believe that I have access. How would I have an access file if I don't have the program, or does it just not show up as a program file?

      mdb is used by any program that uses a jet database.

      you might try mdb viewer

      Let me see if I have this right.....you have a list of girlfriends in a database that you can't open? This is what your girlfriend thinks?
