The .ACCDB file format stands for Microsoft’s Access DBMS system. It is one of the standard database file formats in computing. Microsoft’s Access 2007 and its later versions support the ACCDB file format. Earlier MS Access version was the.MDB file which is now replaced by ACCDB with added features. Some of the newer features in ACCDB apart from macros and integration are the user level security and replication facility.
With ACCDB’s introduction, one major change in the database file structure was the introduction of file attachment field and the storage of data in recordsets. The latest version of ACCDB can run on a sharepoint server and thus you don’t need to install access to view a ACCDB file.
