I downloaded a database file with the extension "VMD". Now I'm looking for a windows software which can open this file, so that i can see all the included tables to (later) export some of them info csv.

When I open the downloaded file with a normal text editor, the header of the file tells me

Standard Jet DB 4.0

When when I try to open it with usual db software (like Microsoft Access) there is an error like

unrecognizable database format

I'm a little bit confused. The file has a "Standard Jet DB 4.0" header but can't be opened with usual software.

Is the some great software which could open this file it?

Rename the file to .mdb suffix and then try opening in Access again. You may need to use a password, in which case try Access PassView as suggested in this answer.

A quick addition to this thread,

For future reference, in the latest MSAccess for this post, you need to change filetype to 'All Files (*)' to be able to select your MSAccess db file. Then you can select any file, and then it should open as normal, disregarding the extension;
