distributing an mdb file with custom C# application

Hi all,

I want to distribute an mdb file with my custom made app written in C#, for
use as its data store, but I am really unsure of how this affects the
licensing. I have read the other posts here relating to licensing issues, but
I can't find an answer to this one.

I have legitimate copies of Access 2003, Visual Studio 2005, etc. so I am
sure I am in order making the mdb file itself, (and the app in Visual Studio
of course).

However, can I distribute the mdb file with the application, which would
only be opened by my application, and not Access, to add/query/delete items
from it?

I have tried reading the EULA but I must confess I did not really understand
it.

Thanks for any help on this one,
regards,
Gary

You are distributing a file.  The licensing is no different than if you were
distributoing a word file or a TXT file (i.e. there is none).
