Sai Su:confused: man

Time to ask your friend what was in that file. I've never seen an .MBA file.

What COULD have happened is that your friend created an application using VBA to do some things with the DAO library and used an alternative file type so it wouldn't automatically open with other utilities. (Has to do with what Windows calls an "association.")
