extracting text from an mdb file

I never used Access before. I just want to do this:
I happen to have a .mdb file (if I'm correct, is it not a MS Access file?). I need to extract the text in that file and have it as a .txt file. I need to use that text to create html files.
How can I do this?
I have MS Access installed but never used it, can I do that from within access? or do I need a converter software or something?

I'd appreciate it if someone could walk me through this.
If I can convert the text to html directly, it would be best of course. But converting to txt is also fine, and I can work with that text later.

Thanks very much in advance

 

Open the .mdb file in Excel.
Holding down the Ctrl key, move the cursor over all the cells you
wish to save.
Right click and choose Copy.
Open a Text Editor - NotePad, Word whatever.
In the new document, right click and then Paste.
Save the file somewhere.
Is that what you want to do ?

OR

you could open the file using Accessselect the table/query that you want to convert>file>export> choose what file type you want>save.
