Network Problems Leading to MDB Corruption

In the majority of cases, Access database corruption isn’t the outcome of sloppy design or poor programming technologies. Most of the corruption could be credited to several other factors, which usually cause the loss of file stability and finally data loss.

For instance, the data storage server when MDB (Access database file) is located might be restarted when users are connected with the database and were performing some editing to the database. Or users might be prematurely shutting down their system during the file operations.
Unlike the managed data systems like Microsoft SQL Server, the Microsoft Access is fundamentally a file based database management system. When you request to access data from database, you are just making a request for file crosswise the network. Likewise, the data update takes place crosswise the network when the information is sent.

Accordingly, there are greater chances of something going erroneous during the process of transferring data and Microsoft Access marks the MDB file as suspect. In such situations, you would be presented with some indefinite error messages like unrecognized database format.
The sources of the database corruption could be the faulty network components like cables, hubs, network interface cards (NIC). It could also be the result of improper application shutdown suing the cross symbol in the upper right corner of the application (that is switching off the power or by using the Ctrl + Alt + Del buttons).

The best way to safeguard your data and ensure database availability is to prevent the database corruption. You can do it by simply following the below given steps:

1 Always close the application correctly
2 Periodically compact the database using Compact and Repair tool
3 Try to avoid mixing the operating systems in multi-user environment
4 To edit the database, user should place it on the local drive
5 Avoid repeated Open/Close operations

Even after taking precautions, the database corruption occurs; you need to consider about Access recovery solutions. The access recovery solutions are available in the form of simple applications, known as Access repair software.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery software is the most advanced and highly developed Access repair software, which is capable of handling all of the Access corruption issues. This software uses powerful scanning algorithms to completely scan the database and end up at absolute access recovery.

Phoenix access repair software is usable for all of the Access database objects including forms, reports, macros, constraints, relationships and so forth. Using this robust Access recovery software, you can have Access repair for all file versions of Microsoft Access including Access 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007.

Repairing Access 2000, 2002 and 2003 Databases

Access database corruption symptoms, or I should precisely say error messages, vary with the file versions. But in Access 2000, 2002 and 2003, there are few error messages which utter the words of corruption in same way. Access databases mean important data and in any of the case, Access repair is the cure. But before that, let’s first mention the error messages which hinder Access databases working.

While trying to compact the database, an error message may read like:
Records can’t be read, no read permissions on
And while running a query, form or report, scrolling in the damaged database or updating records, you may get errors like:

“Jet has stopped the process because you and another user attempted to change the same data at the same time.”

Or

“#Error”

On the other hand, in few of the cases when the Access database is corrupt, it loses its ability to be imported or get exported.

Microsoft has always been of helping nature to the users with different types of techniques to overcome corruption like problems and therefore, the cure of the mentioned problem has also been generated. This says that you should first backup the damaged database so as to prevent failure and hence data loss due to the process.

After this as an Access recovery way, paste or re-create the structure only of one of the table of corrupted database to a newly created table. Now, open both the copies of table structure, and in the View menu of damaged one, click Data-sheet View and select whole record and then copy it. In the new table, paste it, but at the same location where it was earlier. Test in and move on with this access repair process for each record until you get stuck with some error problem. The unmovable data can be typed. Then, create a new database, but with the different name from damaged one and import this new table and uncorrupted objects to it. For the damaged database, rename it, move it to different location and then delete its .ldb file. Now, you can rename the new database, including with the same name. Test it for Access repair.

In case, no expected Access recovery results are gained, use third party Access database repair software which are the sure cure to it. They follow the scanning mechanism to safely interact with the corrupted databases and then avail Access repair for the objects of databases.
Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery uses the most influential set of procedures and proves worth for Access recovery in any case of corruption. Compatible with Access 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007, this Access database repair application has read-only design, interactive interface, efficient scanning ability, suitability for all database objects and more to offer to the users.
