Birdie Access 2 Excel Converter

Birdie Access 2 Excel Converter is a straightforward piece of kit that enables you to create Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (.xls) from Access databases (.mdb). It contains intuitive options that can be tackled with eases, even by those with little or no previous experience in conversion software.

The setup procedure is swift and shouldn't give you any trouble, since there are no unfamiliar settings involved. However, you must have Microsoft Excel installed to be able to successfully perform conversions.

When it comes to the interface, Birdie Access 2 Excel Converter adopts a small window with a plain and simple structure, showing an overview of all options.

All you have to do is indicate an .mdb file with the aid of the file browser, specify the destination folder and name of the new .xls item, as well as click a button to start the conversion operation and let the application handle the rest. During the task, you can view log details, after which you can open the new spreadsheets in Excel to inspect results.

It didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the machine in our tests, thanks to the fact that it consumed low CPU and RAM. We haven't experienced any stability issues, since it didn't freeze, crash or show error messages.

On the other hand, the price of the full package seems too much, especially when taking into account that there are applications which offer the same features for free. It doesn't bring anything new to the table.

For instance, batch processing isn't supported, so it's possible to convert only one file at a time. Plus, it cannot work without MS Excel installed. Nevertheless, you can test Birdie Access 2 Excel Converter for yourself.
