Export in RE NXT webview should allow export in mdb multitable format

Currently I can export to an mdb file in multi table format - should be able to do this in web view. This is a sql relational database in the background is it not?? power bi would also work with an mdb file and people who use an in house license for crystal reports using an mdb file exported from RE can continue to do so and not have to re-write massive reports - consider who your clients are please :) Though not everyone has someone who can do sql/or mdb design view - however many larger institution non-profits do!

    We rely on the Blackbaud Report Writer database (MDB) with Crystal Reports to generate complex reports and letters—beyond what standard RENXT reporting tools and complex Word merges can handle. As a small team, losing MDB export capability would mean manually creating each item, since alternatives like Power BI or Power Automate require leadership and departmental buy-in, significant time to learn and implement, and financial resources we simply don’t have.
