How to write an MDB file into ASCII text?

Hi everyone,

My platform is on Solaris. I have already written C codes to
interpret data AFTER they got extracted from Microsoft Access. The way
it's done right now, is that the users have to go to a Windows PC, copy that MDB file onto the network drive on Solaris, open up MS Access, export each MDB file into an ASCII text file on the network drive on Solaris.

Because each of the Access file has several sets of data on each file, it's cumbersome for the users to do the output to ASCII text for every file.

Then, these users would run my C program to intepret all of that data (in ASCII text format). So I'd like to make it easier for the users when they export the MDB file.

And the way to do it is to copy each MDB file to the network drive on Solaris, read the Access mdb file from a C program on Solaris and automatically output that MDB file into a text file, and then, this is tied into the second C program (which is already completed), which interprets that text file.

So I'm interested how to write the C program to read the MDB file and writing its content into an ASCII text file.
If anyone knows how to do this, please advise. Thanks.

This seems a lot like overkill to me. Can you explain more about what (and why) you are trying to accomplish in the end?
