  • Importing .mbd file into Stata in Mac (Configuring odbc datasources)

    Hi,
    I am using Stata 15 and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2. I have multiple databases in .mdb format, and I would like import all the data (multiple worksheets in each database) into .dta format.

    I know I can either use transfer programs like StatTransfer or use odbc commands.
    For the second method, I am having trouble configuring odbc datasources. For this purpose, I downloaded iODBC driver after reading the manual -
    https://www.stata.com/support/faqs/d...figuring-odbc/
    but am not able to set it up properly. For instance, I do not which driver would be appropriate for these .mdb files, which I guess is giving me observations when I type odbc list.

    Any suggestions on how to proceed would help. Thanks.

    First things first: mbd or mdb files?
