This is a bit off topic, or off strictly Access, but people here have experience with all sorts of stuff - maybe someone will have an idea.
I've been handed what is supposedly a database, of completely unknown origin. It has a .DB extension, which causes searches on the topic to flood me with references to the .DB thumbnail files associated with Windows folders of images. Despite that, I have managed to locate and test a fairly large number of conversion programs, and not one has made any headway with it. I can open the file with a hex editor and see the data clearly enough, but nothing I have tried yet has been able to unravel the structure. Some respond with messages about unrecognized format, some try, and produce nonsense results, and some just hang.
It's not a large file - 164 KB, so testing is fairly quick, but so far, fruitless. Does anyone have experience with unravelling such things? Once again, I know NOTHING about the software of origin, and I do not see anything in the hex display that I recognize as being from a specific DB product. I've attached a zipped copy, if anyone cares to experiment.
