I can join attributes by location in QGIS using 2 shapefiles.
However, I do not know how to do the join when one of my files is in a .mdb format while the other is a shapefile.

I have checked this link, and as I understand, I have to download a trial copy of ArcGIS then use Catalog to convert it. However I need more details on how to use Catalog to transfer a .mdb file to a .shp file. Please advise.– Amira El-ShalJul 24, 2014 at 10:27

Unfortunately, this is beyond my scope as I am only familiar with QGIS. Hopfully others will advise.– JosephJul 24, 2014 at 10:31

I, as well, have not used ArcGIS before. I only know how to use QGIS.– Amira El-ShalJul 24, 2014 at 10:53

I haven't used .mdb files (not yet anyway!) so I am not sure if the following will work but I believe this is how you can import .mdb files:
Layer > Add Vector Layer... > select Database > ESRI Personal GeoDatabase
Perhaps then you can do a join...?
