navicat does a fantastic job.
why any mdb files still exist, is what irks me.

My wife works for a major national radio station. She helps catalog their broadcast database (basically metadata for their entire audio collection). This is a partial transcript of a conversation we had last night:

Wife: The IT guys said we corrupted the database and had to work off of a backup.
Me: What? How is that even possible?
Wife: I don't know but they sent us an email pointing to a different .mdb file that we should be using.
Me: .......

This is a major radio station.

You can use the MySQL Workbench toolset to import an mdb database.
