Bistone MDB Viewer

As programs receive more features meant to make users’ lives easier, their resulting file formats suffer similar changes to accommodate the upgrades. In the process of replacing these formats, important files utilizing the older variants may be difficult to convert without losing data, which is where dedicated utilities such as Bistone MDB Viewer come into play.

In an attempt to comply with certain company-wide regulations, many employees try preserving archives in their original files’ extensions to avoid potential formatting issues when upgrading to newer standards. The MDB iteration belonging to pre-2003 versions of Microsoft Access and succeeded by its more modern ACCDB counterpart is no exception.

As such, those who wish to analyze data confined to this format can try out the software at hand, capable of previewing contents without making any compatibility-breaking changes or having to install older versions of Microsoft’s flagship Office suite. The app can also come in handy when having to read files on older devices with limited, non-expandable storage that cannot host comprehensive editors.

Finally, users seeking to extract pivotal client information from an older database may be well-served by the built-in export option to access its contents in raw text or HTML extension, depending on the level of formatting fidelity they want to receive.
