Repair Corrupt Access Database File?

Question

I am using MS Access 2010 and one of my databases on our shared network does not open for any user. Shows "Unrecognized Database Format." error message.
I can't even get it to the point of opening. Is there a solution for this?
Is there any commercial tool to recover data from a corrupted database?

Answer 1

To repair a corrupt .mdb database of MS Access, one can try Compact and Repair feature of MS Access. It repairs corrupt database and makes it accessible for database users. Other than this one can also use import feature of MS Access that helps database users import their corrupt database to a new database file.



If both these solutions fail to fix this corruption,



Then one must check some third-party access database repair or recovery software. I would like to suggest MDB Repair Kit software here to repair corrupt .mdb and .accdb files. One can check its free demo version before buying its full version. Download the software from this page: http://www.mdb.repair/



Hope this would be helpful.

Answer 3

To restore a database, you must already have a backup copy of your database.



A backup is commonly referred to as a "known good copy" of a database file — a copy in which you are confident of its data integrity and design. You should use the Back Up Database command in Microsoft Office Access to make backups, but you can use any known good copy to restore a database. For example, you can restore a database from a copy that is stored on a USB external backup device.



You can restore an entire database, or you can selectively restore objects in a database.



If you do not have a backup copy, you risk data loss and unwanted changes to or corruption of your database design. For this reason, you should make backups on a regular basis.

Answer 4

Try opening Access itself and going to Database Tools > Compact and Repair database, then choose the database that has the problem.

If you have shadow copies enabled as part of system restore, you may be able to retrieve an older working version.

Answer 5

First of all, you can try the build-in "Compact and Repair" command in Access to repair your corrupt database, you can get more detailed info at:

If the above method does not work, then you can try third-party Access data recovery tools, such as DataNumen Access Repair at:
