Hello,

I have a HTML and DOC file which are filled with URL's of the websites. Now i want to update my sofwtare with the website in that file. I want to convert either of the file to .mdb format so that i can update the URL's within the file. Can anyone help me with the conversion of the html or doc file to mdb file.
I tried to save that file as .mdb but when i opened the file its said that the file is in unrecognisable format.

Regards.

As far as I am aware .mdb is a Microsoft Database (Access). I don't think that it is possible to convert to a database. Are you sure that this is what you wish or need to do?

If the items are in a consistent format (i.e., each URL is on a line by itself, for instance), you can probably import it into Access.

1. Open Access and create a blank database.
2. Click on "New" in the Tables section.
3. Choose "Import Table".
4. For the "Files of Type" box, choose "HTML".
5. Find the appropriate file, then hit OK.
6. Follow the steps to choose the field length, etc.

Let me know if that solves the problem!
