Stellar Phoenix Access Repair

Microsoft Access database is most common back-end database used in organizations. Being a multi user application, Access database is highly prone to corruption and damage. In any case, a user in an organization tries to open MS Access and receives the following error message:

“Your Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file FPDTC.dll Version 1.0. To ensure your database or project works properly, you must fix this reference.”

After the user encounters the above error message, Access database becomes inaccessible. The above error message means that the Access database has been corrupted. The database got inaccessible due to broken or missing references of FPDTC.dll file. FPDTC.dll is a data link library file that is used by a user while designing the database. Once this file is corrupted, Access database becomes inaccessible.

To resolve the above issue, the user can use the in-built utility of Microsoft Access named “Compact and Repair.” But this in-built utility is not capable of solving serious corruption issues and repairing large size Access database. So the question here arises is:

How can the user execute the Access database if the inbuilt utility fails to repair the database?

The answer to the above question is by using effective access repair software. Access repair applications provide complete Access Database Repair by using effective scanning methods.

Everyday while accessing an Access database the users may face challenges in the form of error messages. These error messages can occur due to numerous reasons including software malfunctioning, improper shutdown, virus attacks and more. One such error message that a user might face while executing an Access database is:

“The database needs to be repaired”

After receiving the above message, the Access database becomes inaccessible.

Reasons behind the issue

The above error appears on the screen when Access database gets corrupted or damaged. The damage can happen due to numerous reasons, such as, improper shutdown of the computer while a database was executing macros, operating system failure and application crash. Whatever may be the issue, the final result may be complete loss of database information.

What should a user do to extract the damaged database?

To access the database, the user can opt for compact and repair utilities. These are inbuilt utilities which repair the corrupted database and save the database on the user-specified location.

But there are possibilities that compact and repair utilities might fail to perform complete access repair. In that case, the user needs to use efficient Access recovery software. The Access repair utilities are the third party applications, which incorporate advanced algorithms to scan and repair the corrupted Access databases. These Access repair utilities are easy to use, self descriptive and user friendly.

Access database failure is not an unusual incident for most of the users. The users who haven’t faced the database failure yet, will surely experience it in the future. There can be numerous reasons for Access database damage, such as, deadly virus attacks, critical system errors, unexpected system shutdown or network malfunction. These disasters lead to Access database inaccessibility and unavailability.

In order to recover and optimize the damaged Access database files, the user can use repair and compact utilities provided in Microsoft Access.

The Repair utility enables the user to repair only the tables, indexes and queries. This utility is not competent enough to repair corrupted modules, reports, macros or forms, instead directly copies them to the new database. The compact utility creates a new destination database and copies every database object in the old database to the new database.

But what happens if the user wants to recover and repair corrupted modules, macros, reports or forms, which the repair and compact utilities are not capable to repair. To repair and recover all these, the user can use efficient Access database recovery tool.

When you try to open an Access database, you may get the following error message:

“‘ID’ is not an index in this table”

It seems that the database has some errors. When you attempt to fix the database errors using Compact and Repair utility from Tools menu, it won’t compact and you may get further error message stating:

“Microsoft Office Access has detected corruption in this file. To try and repair the corruption, first make a backup copy of the file. Then, on the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities and click Compact and Repair database. If you are currently trying to repair this corruption then you will need to recreate this file or restore it from a previous backup.”

After getting these error messages, you can not access your database and may fall in grave situations.

Cause

As stated in the error message, these error messages occur due to corruption in the Access database. The corruption could be the result of unexpected system shutdown, virus attack, application malfunction and the like.

No matter what the reasons of database corruption and these error messages are, the ultimate result would be the data loss. Data loss could not be accepted by any of the Access user at any cost and you need to fix it as quickly as possible.

Resolution

You can work around this problem by simply importing the damaged Access database into the new one. To do so, simply follow the below given steps:

1. Create a copy of MDB file when Access isn’t running
2. Create a new database and import the objects of damaged database in it

This method works in some situations, but mostly when you import the main table, you may face the same error message again and the import process may get halted.

In such disastrous situations, the only thing which can save your data and finally your business is Access recovery. It is the process of scanning your database, repairing it and finally restoring the same in original form.

Access recovery is best possible using Access repair software. Access repair software are easy to use applications, which systematically scan the entire database using powerful scanning algorithms and extract all of the data from it.

Microsoft access is a relational database management system, used to design small and medium computer database for Microsoft windows based computers. It is also used as database server for web-based applications.

Access provides a number of objects for effectively managing and organizing your important data and index is the most popular among them. Index helps users in quickly finding and sorting the records.

MS access uses indexes inside a table, as these are used in books; for finding out the data. User can create indexes on a single as well as multiple fields. Multi-field indexes enable you to differentiate between the records, in which first field might have similar value.

You will probably want to index the fields you search often, fields you join in other tables and fields you sort. However, the indexes could slow down some database operations like append queries, if indexes for several fields required to be updated when performing such operations.
Though, it is very beneficial for the user to create indexes for better organization of data, but sometimes it could cause database corruption. Since MS access crates index first, if anything goes wrong in creation of records, the database may become corrupted.

It is very frustrating situation for every business user as well as general access user to lose data. But it is an unforeseen situation, which could occur to anybody at any point of time. You should be protective to prevent database corruption from such reasons.

How to prevent database corruption, which occurs due to wrong indexing:

To prevent database corruption in multi-user environment, you should keep users from accessing data through the database tables. You should always use your VBA codes with rollback and delete. Performing regular compact and repair is also helpful.

The above mentioned methods can only help you in preventing database corruption, but can not cure the corrupted database. To work around the database corruption scenario, you need to achieve access recovery.

Access recovery is feasible with the help of access repair software. Access database repair software are third party tools, specifically designed to repair and restore damaged access database file. These software end up at absolute and efficient access recovery by systematically scanning the entire damaged database.

Stellar phoenix access recovery is the superior access repair tool, which is capable of handling all the MDB corruption scenarios. With interactive, simple and cool looking user interface, performing access recovery with this software is extensively trouble free.

Sometimes, when you put a relational database, created using Microsoft Access, on a shared network drive, it does not work. It opens fine 2 or 3 times but when you open it again and again, you receive the following error message:

“Microsoft Office has detected that this database is in inconsistent state and this database will attempt to recover the database. During this process a backup copy of the database will be made and all recovered objects will be placed in a new database. Access will then open the new database. The names of the objects that were not successfully recovered will be logged in the “Recovery Errors” table.”

When you click OK for recovery, in some cases it recovers the Access database but most of the times it shows you another error message stating:

“The database can’t be repaired or is not a Microsoft office access database file.”
After these error messages, you can not access even a single bit of your valuable data from your MDB file.

Grounds of the trouble

This problem occurs only with the shared database. When you create a backup copy of your Access database on network drive, you generally come across with this situation. The problem takes place due to corruption in the database, which is the result of improper closing of the database.

When you close the Access database from your client system, the server still thinks that the database is running and after some time it damages the database.

Work around of this issue

If you want to prevent this problem from occurring in future, you should always properly close the database on client as well as server computer. To work around the corruption scenario, you need to perform Access recovery.
