Have you tried rebuilding a copy of the database in Access using the repair tool?

<br />
But:<br />
- Only use this fix on a copy of your data<br />
<br />
- If Sage has password protected the data you may not be able to use Access to open it anyway.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, if you have a current user licence, you could contact Sage support directly for advice.

Sage Payroll

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
