MAD files are shortcuts to modules in Microsoft Access database. They do not contain the module itself. mToolkit is an open-source toolkit for mobile app development. It has its own project file format with .mad extension.
Microsoft Access created the MAD file format standard. MAD files link to Access database modules with Visual Basic code. They are used to open the modules directly.
To open .mad files the operating system associates them with an application. If not associated double-click the file to prompt assignment. Install Microsoft Access if needed for .mad links.
Other programs may support .mad files too. But Microsoft Access is the main program that handles them. It is from Microsoft Corporation. For more details on .mad files see the Microsoft Access developer website.
