Why on earth should a non-geek user care about file formats.  How a
DB stores its data is entirely up to that DB.  Yes there might well be
common export and import formats (CSV never was up to complicated
data), but not the actual data format.  I suppose the only possible 
reason would be so that you could eMail a DB in the same was that
you eMail a document, but then it would have to be compatible with
Access itself, or all the Windows users would not be able to use it and
unfortunately they are rather in the majority right now.  Do you 
actually want to send the whole DB, or just bits of it?
