Hello,<br />
<br />
Is it too obvious to say &nbsp;&quot;go to a backup&quot; ?
</div>


<div>
:) &nbsp;Last working backup is in May.
</div>


<div>
Better May, than nothing. Adjusting to a more frequent backup would be the order of the day going forward.<br />
The difficulty is trying to figure out what might have led to the corruption and when the corruption occurred.<br />
nothing else is at issue i.e. the system where the file is experienced drive related corruption issues.<br />
<br />
Try attaching a copy of the MDB file to an SQL server and see if that can ..<br />
<br />
from the last page, seems an errand command deleted an object that is the cause of the corruption.

I dont understand...<br />

I will try Googling in the meanwhile.

Yes, the updated backup is the best way to get the data back. In your case, it is not updated so I will suggest you to use Access database repair tool to repair the file. <a href="https://www.stellarinfo.com/access-database-repair.php" rel="ugc">Stellar Phoenix Access Database Repair</a> software repairs the corrupt MDB and ACCDB files. It comes up with the demo version which, provides the preview facility. <br />
<br />
Good Luck!

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
A client asked me if I could recover a corrupt database, and I am looking for opinions how to go about it.<br />
<br />
I believe that they were using Access 97, but when I try to open it in Access 2010, I get the following error messages, one after the other after clicking &quot;OK&quot;. I do have access to Access 365 and 97, but I am wondering on how I can start, or if this is possible?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Hi Experts,
