What is ODB file?
The ODB (OpenDocument Database) file extension is an open source file format primarily used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org for storing databases and tables. ODB files can also be opened and saved in other applications such as Kexi, a desktop visual data editor. ODB databases consist of interactive components, such as form controls, reports, queries, and macros, which enable users to input and analyze data. [ ⏩ ] ODB file extension

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from ODB to ACCDB?
To successfully convert the ODB 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.ODB). 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. ODB to ACCDB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting ODB 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 ODB 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.
