Well JET is the database engine for Access and mdb is one of the file
format extensions for Access database files. JET has been used in other
MS products and Access has used different file formats(extensions) over
the years. So you may be in for a chore depending on what files you
actually have. Might be worth it to do some exploring and see if the
data is available in a more useable form.
