Very helpful!
I was about to write my own custom MDB converter, and was therefore very happy to find the developers link to this solution at the macworld forums. I certainly couldnt write my own translator for $5.99! Thanks for saving me a lot of time and effort with this app. I installed the software, started it up, located my MDB file, and MDB Viewer quickly opened the database. I then converted it to CSV and I was on my way. The whole process took less than two minutes.
Two feature suggestions:
1. Improve auto-sizing of columns. Some columns seemed to auto-size for me, but others didnt. My state column, for example, was twice as wide as its label (STATE_PROVINCE), though no value in that column was nearly as wide as the label.
2. Allow dropping of files from the Finder into the applications initial window. One can drop MDB files onto the applications icon, but the initial app window leads the user to intuitively drag and drop into it. After clicking Open Other…, a user can drop their file into the Open dialog, but most users dont know this, it requires extra clicks, and again, it isnt intuitive.
Absence of these minor conveniences aside, great app, and great value. Thank you!
