Hi Everyone,
Yes, the stupidest thing happened to me and I have a corrupt ms-Access mdb which contains many hours of development work. Arrgghh!
In the past I have been able to use the "/decompile" switch, followed by a repair and compact in order to get into the file. Indeed, even when I couldn't fix the corruption, I found that I was able to copy the components out of the file into an empty mdb.
But this time none of that seems to work and I keep getting messages like "The database 'c:\xxx.mdb' can't be repaired or isn't a Microsoft Access database file". A message which also appears when I try to import into an new, empty MS-Access mdb.
I really hope that someone out there has a suggestion for me (or a helpful link)? That would save me lots of bother.
Many thanks,
Alan Searle
