Delphi and Access

How can I view Delphi database files using Access?
I'm new to this so all help would be greatly appreciated
Is there a plugin or a viewer or any other means that I can use to view the
database?

Delphi is a programming language, not a database. Delphi databases will be
implemented either with a database engine like Paradox or Interbase or ???,
or will be a "database" constructed of PC files for a specific application.

If you determine that a particular database application was used, then you
may be able to access the database, because Access has just about as broad a
connectivity capability as any database. If PC files were used, then you'd
have to know the specifications for those files -- Access has file i/o
capability, but just reading the raw data may not do you much good, if
that's how the database was implemented.
