Open MDB file - with these applications it is possible

MDB is a proprietary file format used by Microsoft Access. It is used as the standard database format by Microsoft. In order to open such files on your computer, you need a suitable program. However, you don't necessarily need a Microsoft application for that.

How to open an MDB file

An MDB file is a proprietary format that is also used as a standard format for Microsoft databases. Usually these files are used by Microsoft Access, however it is now possible to use other applications to open the files.

1. The easiest way to open an MDB file is through Microsoft Access. The program is usually part of the Microsoft 365 package.
2. To be able to open the file, launch the application and click "File" at the top. After that, select the "Open" option. Select the appropriate file.
3. Alternatively to Microsoft Access, you can also use LibreOffice or OpenOffice. Both programs are free application packages. Sie benötigen das Programm „Base“, um die Datenbank-Datei öffnen zu können.
4. Um die Datei im Programm zu bearbeiten, folgen Sie den gleichen Weg wie bereits in Schritt 2 für Microsoft Access beschrieben. Der Vorteil an Base ist vor allem, dass Sie noch zahlreiche weitere Datenbank-Dateiformate öffnen und bearbeiten können.
