    Question can't open MS Access database


    Good day. A few days ago Icreated a MS Access database. Everything was working perfectly. Today tried toopen it and leaves a sign that the base is corrupted and it cannot be opened.What could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Read similar threads onthe forums, but a sensible solution was never found, so I had to create a newtopic. Thanks in advance.

    If it says it is corrupted, it may be and is gone. Sometimes Access db will do this, which is why you need to do LOTS of backups.
    I make backups everyday. (sometimes hourly depending on usage)

    Restore from backup.

    you could try creating a blank db, then try to import everything from the bad db. Good luck.

    Another possibility:
    Wherever directory your dB is located in, is there a file with the same name but the extension is .laccdb?
    If so, delete the .laccdb file, then try and open your database.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
