delphi Access and fbc extension file
Hi Experts,
I have just started working with an application that is using an access database.
The database is in a file with an fbc extension.
What is an fbc file and why has the database been put into it?
How do I get to look at the data and schema of the database?
Thanks for your help in this matter.

if my answer fits to your question, i think it depends on the developer, the developer wants a unique filename that extension is a fire_bird_client database, but firebird has fdb/gdb. So anyone would take over the database system would react like you did.
anyway, according to the sites I've read, .fbc stands for a familytree compress backup, unless that is your working.

In applications I've developed, using SQLite, I name the extension something related to the application or to guarantee I can associate the file extension and cause an effect when clicked.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I'll try to open the file with Access when I go into the office tomorrow morning.
Why would someone want to name the file with the .fbc extention rather then the default access db extention?
