File Extension | ACCDB |
Full Name | Microsoft Access 2007/2010 Database Format |
Files with the .ACCDB extension contain databases, namely data distributed in tables and fields coupled with SQL queries and forms, saved in a format unique to the Microsoft Access software, versions 2007 and newer.
File Extension | TDL |
Full Name | Tab Delineated File Format |
TDL is an extension given to files that are used by various applications, most often as a data source. Technically, TDL is a plain text file that can be opened in any editor. The structure of the TDL file is similar to the CSV format, with the difference that the file uses a tab character as a field (column) separator.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "ACCDB") to another (referred to as "TDL"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, ACCDB file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format ACCDB to format TDL becomes essential.
So, how can we perform ACCDB to TDL file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format ACCDB and transforming it into format TDL. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of ACCDB to TDL converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of ACCDB to TDL. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the ACCDB file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
