If you are using C++, you could access the JET API directly
with VC++, or maybe even MingW32. As for free, third party
JET interfaces, I don't know of any.

I can remember hacking together some code in VB years ago to
extract text from saved modules, but the MDB format is
proprietary, and changes every version of JET that is released,
and MS won't release any specs or useful info on it.

I subscribe to the MSDN, and the only useful info I've turned up
is that there is a Microsoft Data Access SDK available that has
examples and skeletons for writing OLE DB, ODBC, ADO, and RDO
drivers and clients. (www.microsoft.com/data)
