Thread: how to get last modification time of ms access database table using java

You have a few options here, you could either;
1.) Use database triggers
2.) Have a "Last updated" column in your table, and update it with a Date object whenever an update/insertion is performed

There will be other options which work, but you could easily find them through Google.
Best of luck.

If I've understood you properly, you have software which backs up user specified databases and their tables, in which case I don't have any idea how you could get the information if you've never seen the database files before.
This isn't to say it isn't possible, but without it being a table created by your software, I just don't know.
