[GRASS-user] Vector file import formats

[Randal Hale]

The MXD files are just ArcGIS Map documents. They will hold no data - 
only symbology.

You'll need to get your data out of the personal geodatabase files (the 
.mdb files). It's been a while since I've tackled that - I wrote a 
tutorial for doing this in QGIS. People have had hit or miss luck with 
the tutorial - 
http://www.northrivergeographic.com/qgis-accessing-personal-geodatabase. 
It works for me (win 10 64 bit with QGIS).

Personal geodatabases were a first attempt at a database format for ESRI 
when they left coverages. It's mostly been abandoned for the File Based 
Geodatabase.

I know that probably isn't helping much - but - it might get you 
started. I don't think there's a straight forward way to push that into 
GRASS - there will need to be a few steps before hand.
