How to get data out of Access MDE files?

[dba...@yahoo.com]

Dear Experts,

I have an application that I've used for years
that runs on Access under the covers. Help shows
a reference to:
Access 2002 Desktop Developer's Handbook

It was a self contained application.
All I have are the two MDE files.
And they are full of data now.
The app requires a login.

I want to export this data into another database.

How can I get the table structures and the data
out of the MDE files?

A new version of Access?
Sql Server?
.NET?
A data conversion tool?

Oracle says that if they have the XML file
with the table structures, they can export
the data:

Is there a way to get the XML file
from the MDE file?

Thanks a lot!
