Hello --
I am using Enterprise Architect, a UML modeling tool, which is built on a
pre-Access 2000 mdb. The database describing the model has the extension
".eap".
I want to build some queries, reports, etc., on this model and want to store
them in a separate mdb.
Is there a way to link to objects in an Access database that has a non-"mdb"
extension?
Thanks for any help.

Assuming there are tables that are not secured from other access, as they
might be, then make a copy of the .eap file, change the extension to .mdb,
link the tables of interest, then use the Linked Table Manager to relink to
the same tables in the original .eap. Discard the renamed .mdb.
The problem is that, although the tables can be in a file of any extension
if it is a valid Access database, the File | Get External Data dialog limits
the file extensions from which you can do the original Link.

Another, even easier, approach was suggested to me by Eric Fleischmann,
Microsoft:
Use the File | Get External Data | Link, choose Access Tables. When the file
selection dialog opens up with only "Access type" files, simply put *.* in
the File Name, enter, and it will show all the files in that folder.
So simple, and it's just the way Windows works.
