Displaying your Access (.MDB or .ACCDB) Data - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To convert your Microsoft Access (.MDB or .ACCDB) data into a MapInfo Pro table:

1. On the HOME tab, in the File group, on the Open list, click Table to open the Open dialog box.
2. Choose Microsoft Access Database from the Files of type menu. The Access databases (.MDB or .ACCDB) for the specified location display.
3. Choose an Access database to open. If security is turned on, you will be prompted to give user and password information to open the database.
4. The Open Access Table dialog box displays the tables for the opened database.
5. Choose an Access table or tables to open. The table or tables are opened in MapInfo Pro. (For a table name with a space, such as Order Details, can be saved in MapInfo Pro but subsequently will not be visible to MapInfo Pro.)

After you open an Access table in MapInfo Pro for the first time, MapInfo Pro creates a definition for the table and gives it a .TAB extension. This enables you to it treat it like any other MapInfo Pro table. For example, to open this file you would now open it like any other MapInfo Pro table.
