EXPORTING FROM A PERSONAL GEODATABASE FEATURE
DATASET OR FEATURE CLASS TO A SHAPEFILE OR COVERAGE
1. Open ArcCatalog. (This step is not required if the data is converted to an
ArcSDE Feature class.)
2. In the Catalog tree or contents view, browse to the location where the personal
geodatabase (*.mdb) is stored. If the file is located on a UNIX machine,
you should have access to that file from Windows and have sufficient permissions
for reading the data.
3. Right-click the personal geodatabase to be exported. Click Export and To
Shapefile (Multiple) or To Coverage depending on your preference.
This will export all feature classes contained in the personal geodatabase. To
export tables, select the tables to be exported and click the option To dBase
(multiple).
