I have a clients whose database is an mdb with the shift key disabled. &nbsp;It is not split, is only on one computer and they have had a power surge. &nbsp;This has (I think) corrupted the database. &nbsp;They had also not done a back up for a week and I would love to try and recover some of the data. &nbsp;However I cannot decompile or import the files into a blank database - I just get the mysysdb message. &nbsp;Any suggestions please.

I have a clients whose database is an mdb with the shift key disabled.  It is not split, is only on one computer and they have had a power surge.  This has (I think) corrupted the database.  They had also not done a back up for a week and I would love to try and recover some of the data.  However I cannot decompile or import the files into a blank database - I just get the mysysdb message.  Any suggestions please.

Could not find MysysDb - corrupt database

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
