Re: Does anyone know which database engine creates .TDB files?

The extension may simply be generated by the app and not indicate the actual
database used.

Many db's have a string at the beginning of the file to indicate which
database is being used. If you e.g. rename file to .doc extension and open
it in ms word then you can see this text.

It is a custom Delphi app using the database. I don't know what happened
to the original developer or source.

Thanks for all the replies, I will try the suggestions and see if I can
access it.
