title: accdb vs mdb access database file
body: <p>what is the difference between these two extensions? </p>
  
  <p>i need to write to an access database from a WORD file using an ADODB connection</p>
  
  <p>when i create a new access database it gives me the option to make only an ACCDB file and for some reason i cannot make an MDB file</p>
  
  <p>can someone please help me create an MDB file so that i am able to make an ADODB connection to it in order to write to the database/?</p>
