How to Convert an MDT File
An MDT
probably can’t be converted into another format that Microsoft Access recognizes. This type of data file is likely just used by the program when the data is needed, and not intended to be opened at will, like with ACCDB and other Access files.
It’s likely that GeoMedia Smart Client can export its data into other formats in addition to MDT,
so I assume you can use the same program to open the MDT and save it to a different format.
I see no reason to convert an XML-based MDT , but you certainly can if you want to. Just open the file in a text editor and then save it to a new format like TXT or HTML.
Still Can’t Open the File?
Before assuming that the programs from above are not working correctly to open your MDT file, you might consider whether you’re reading the file extension correctly.
It can be easy to confuse one file format with another if they use similar file extensions.
For example, the MTD suffix looks a lot like MDT but is actually used for Musicnotes Digital Sheet Music files,
a format that does not work with any of the MDT file openers above.
The same could be said for MDF, MDL, and DMT files, all of which are used for unique file formats that open with specific, and different, software programs.
