MS ACCESS read metadata binary

[Irfan Ahmed]

I want to open the MS ACCESS databse in binary format and extract
1- MS ACCESS version
2- Number of tables in it
3- Number of columns in each table
4- Type of each field
5- NULL/NOT NULL status if each table field
6- Unique number

I don't want to use any ODBC connection or any object, just wanted to read
binary file and create the metadata of MS ACESS database.

Kind Regards,
Irfan

Microsoft does not publish the binary structure of the database, and it is
not consistent across versions.

That's fine if it inconsistent across version, I simple need the MS ACCESS
97 mdb file to be opened in binary and read its contents.
