Access Stored Procedure

A MAS file may also be a stored procedure created and used by Microsoft Access. It contains functions used to retrieve and/or modify data stored in an Access database. MAS files consist of field names and SQL statements used to retrieve or modify data stored in those fields.

More Information

Stored procedures are pre-written, embedded database commands that allow applications connected to a relational database management system, such as Access, to perform common functions without including those functions in their own code. This allows developers to streamline their application code, by referencing the stored procedure in one or more apps' code, rather than writing it out each time it is needed.

In most cases, Access saves stored procedures within the database with which they are used, and not as separate files. However, on occasion, you may see Access stored procedures saved as MAS files.

How to open a MAS file

You can use Microsoft Access to execute the procedure a MAS file contains (provided you have access to a compatible database).
