Corrupt accdb
Hi,
I am helping a third party.
I have an Access database that is corrupt. Access 2007 .accdb file.
See 20 second video http://screencast.com/t/fRN0V0lLYy7
Message is "unrecognised database format"
I tried Compact & Repair but no joy. I also tried "importing" table into another database but no joy there either.
I have also tried a couple of "try before you buy" database repair tools.
The tool "Stellar Phoenix" said "This is not a valid MS Access file" - even though it's clearly a .accdb file.
How can I recover my data? Should I pay someone to do it for me? Any recommendations?
