In addition to Lynn's response, "yes" ... and "no"!

When I look at a .mdb in Windows Explorer, it is described as
'Microsoft Access Database Application'. I see two elements the a
'Microsoft Access Database' a.k.a. a Jet database, and an Application.
You don't need MS Access to create, maintain and use a MS Access/Jet
database but you do require MS Access to run a MS Access application.
Which do you have, database or application?
