Amongst my backups I found an mdb file which I want to use in Studio 2021. Up to now I have not found any way of converting this file. Pls advise. Thank you very much.

In Excel? Feb 2, 2021

Try to import the mdb file in Excel, save it as an Excel file and then you may be able to translate it in Studio. HTH, Matthias

Another option Feb 2, 2021

Stepan's option is probably the best alternative. However, if this MDB is a backup of a Trados TB, you can also just change the extension from MDB to SDLTB.
