What is ADP file?
The ADP file extension is primarily associated with the Microsoft Access database program. It is a project format for storing data inside an Access database. In other words, an ADP file is a design project file that contains forms, reports, macros, and other objects. The other objects may relate to the physical data store structure such as tables, queries, or modules. The ADP file may also reference a set of related data source connection files with the .DSC file extension. [ ⏩ ] ADP file extension

How to convert the file from ADP to ACCDB?
To successfully convert the ADP file to ACCDB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.ADP). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ACCDB (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than ACCDB).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. ADP to ACCDB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting ADP files to ACCDB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ACCDB, while before this step we had the ADP file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ACCDB file, or not.
