Stellar Phoenix Access Repair

An error message while accessing a database file (.mdb or .accdb) occurs when the operating system is unable to make connection between the file name and its path. Few reasons responsible for lack of communication can be improper formatting, file corruption and more. In such situations, the data stored in database file becomes inaccessible. For complete recovery of data in such scenarios, you need to restore the data from the latest backup. But, if there is no backup available, then you should use advanced Access Recovery applications that can completely recover your lost data.

Consider a practical instance, where you might encounter the below error message when you attempt to open an .mdb file:

“Path/File access error”

The above error message makes the .mdb file inaccessible.

Cause

Four main causes for the occurrence of the above error message are:

• .mdb file is not correctly formatted.
• You tried to modify a Visual Basic project inside a database or document.
• You attempted to open a read-only file in sequential Output or Append mode.
• You tried to store .mdb file that would reinstate an existing read-only file.

Resolution

To resolve the above error and access .mdb file, you need to take these steps:

• .mdb file name can contain absolute or relative path. A fully qualified path begins with the drive name (if the path is of another drive) and registers the explicit path from the root to the file. Any path that is not completely qualified is relative to the current drive and directory.
• You need to modify the read-only attribute of the target file or save the file with a dissimilar file name.
• Open the .mdb file in Input mode or change the read-only attribute of the file.

But if the above actions fall short of resolving the above issue, then you need to recover the .mdb file data by using advanced access recovery utilities. Such Access Database Repair applications incorporate powerful scanning algorithms to comprehensively recover and restore all Access database files. With highly interactive and intuitive user interface, these recovery utilities serve as easy-to-understand tools without prior technical knowledge.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery is the most powerful access repair application. It supports Microsoft Access 2007, 2003, XP (2002) and 2000. This Access Database Repair application is companionable with Windows Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 and NT. It repairs all database objects like queries, forms, reports, macros and modules.

An effective and straightforward way to enter data into the tables created in MS Access is by using Access database forms. These forms streamline the data input process by providing fast and intuitive way of editing records. But sometimes an Access database application may crash when you make changes in a specific Access form. In such situations, the Access form becomes inaccessible. In case of no backup availability, to recover the form and access lost data, you need to use advanced Access Repair tools.

As a practical instance, the MS Access application might crash after you try to edit and save changes in Access form (Customers):

“Faulting application msaccess.exe, version 11.0.8166.0, stamp 46437912, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, stamp 411096b4, debug? 0, fault address 0×00010de3.”

After the above error message appears, the Customers form becomes inaccessible.

Cause

The main causes for the occurrence of above error message are:

• The maximum limit of MS Access for supporting 1024 objects has been crossed.
• Access database corruption due to application conversion from one version to another.
• Malicious software like virus, worm etc.

Resolution

To resolve the above error and access the Customers form, you should take these actions:
• Run the inbuilt utility “Compact and Repair” to repair the corrupted form. In most cases, for the above error, the utility fails to repair the corrupted Access form.
• Import the Customers form from the latest backup.
• Adding the database to the SourceSafe may also not help in solving the above error situation. The best possible way is to split the database, if the number of objects in the database is large.

But, if the above error message still appears even after following the above measures, then you need to repair the corrupted Customers form. To completely repair the Access form, you need to use effective access recovery tools.

Such Access Database Repair applications incorporate advanced scanning algorithms to provide complete database repair and restore all affected Access components. Due to their self-descriptive and graphical interface, these repair applications serve as user-friendly tools without need of any prior technical knowledge.

Microsoft Access offers various components like forms, tables etc. to save your critical data in different formats. Each database object offers a different set of functionality and benefits. Various reasons responsible for corruption of MS Access database components can be MS Office malfunctioning, unexpected system shutdown, improper registration of Data Link Libraries (DLLs), malicious software like virus and more. In such situations, data stored in MS Access components become inaccessible. To access the data, you should restore it from the latest backup. However, if you have not maintained any backup or the backup falls short of restoring the required data, you need to recover the lost data using special recovery utilities. For complete recovery of the lost Access database, you need to use advanced Access Recovery tools.

Consider a practical case, where you receive the below error message when you attempt to view or run Visual Basic code in a form’s class module:

“ActiveX component can’t create object.”
Or
“MSACCESS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.”

After any of the above error messages appear, Access form becomes inaccessible. Additionally, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to open the Access form.

Cause
The main reason for the occurrence of any of the above error messages is the improper registration of Dao360.dll file.

Resolution
To resolve the above issue and access the form, you need to follow these actions:
• Run the following command to register the DAO file:
regsvr32 Dao360.dll
• Replace Dao360.dll
• Remove the DAO Folder and Reinstall Microsoft Access 2000
However, if you still encounter any of the above error messages, even after taking above steps, then you need to reinstall MS Access or Office. To do so, you firstly need to delete the leftover files. In such situations, Access database might get corrupted because of mismatch of the DLL files or installation of an upgraded version of MS Access. To recover the data after corruption, you should use effective access recovery tools. Such Access Database Repair tools use advanced scanning algorithms to provide absolute database recovery of all Access database objects. With user-friendly interface, these tools are easily understandable without prior technical knowledge.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery is the most trustworthy Access Recovery utility. It offers comprehensive recovery and restoration of Access database components.

Exporting MS Access database components in MS Word Merge format or MS Excel format is the common practice followed by database users. While exporting the database objects provides various benefits, it can also become a cause of Access database corruption. In many cases, the Access database becomes inaccessible and unmountable. To regain the affected database data, you should restore the Access database from an updated backup. However, if you have not created any such backup or the backup fails to restore data, then you need to use advanced Access Repair tools.

Consider a practical example, where you receive the below error message when you export a table (Employee) from a Microsoft Access database (in .mdb format) to the Microsoft Word Merge format:

“The data being exported does not match the format described in the Schema.ini file.”

Furthermore, you receive another error message if you use VBA (Visual Basic for Application) code:

Run-time error ‘3438’

Cause

The main cause behind the above error message is that when you export the Employee table for the first time, the field names of the table for the Microsoft Word Merge format get saved in the Schema.ini file. A schema.ini (schema information) file provides information about the general format of the file, column name and data types. So, if you again export the employee table, it does not match with previously exported fields. Another major reason behind mismatching fields can be Access database corruption. In both the cases, if you try to import the Employee table, you will receive the above error messages.

Resolution

To resolve the errors, Microsoft suggests opening the schema.ini file by using Notepad and then modifying all the field names that are causing the problem. However, in case of database corruption, you need to repair the MS Access database and then apply the above resolution. To completely repair the MS Access database, you should use advanced Access Database Repair utilities. Such access repair tools incorporate effective scanning algorithms to perform thorough repair and restoration of all affected Access database components. These applications can be easily understood without prior technical knowledge as they come with largely graphical interface and user-friendly documentation.

The records saved in the MS Access database form core component of Access database files (.mdb and .accdb). You can save your records in various MS Access database components like tables, forms, views, reports etc. Various factors responsible for the damage of records can be concurrent modification by two or more users on the same record, software bugs, network hardware failure and more. In such situations, you need to recover the damaged records by using latest data backup. However, if you have not maintained any backup, you need to recover and restore the lost data by using Access Recovery tools.

Consider a scenario when you attempt to access the records saved in the “Marketing” table, you find that some of the records have been marked as “#Deleted.” This indicates that the Access database has been corrupted. Few main reasons for the Access database corruption are discussed as follows:

• Two users in multi-user environment were attempting to modify the records of the same table.
• Improper shutdown of the Microsoft Jet connection due to power outage.
• ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Data Access Objects (DAO)
• Faulty Network Hardware
• Malicious software like virus
• Large number of open and close operations in a sequence.

Resolution:

To resolve the above issue and access the database records in “Marketing” table, you need to use an inbuilt repair utility known as Compact and Repair. To use the utility, you need to follow these steps:

To make the Access database available for every user in an organization, it is generally stored on a shared network drive. Corruption of Access database kept on the shared network drive occurs mainly due to simultaneous modification by more than one user on the network, improper server shutdown, malicious software like virus etc. In such circumstances, the database becomes inaccessible to every user on the network. Furthermore, it shows an error message when the user attempts to mount the Access database. To recover lost data, the user needs to restore it from latest backup. But, if there is no backup available, then user needs to recover and restore the database by using advanced Access Recovery tool.

The user encounters the below error message when he attempts to access the MS Access database on a shared network drive:
“Microsoft Office has detected that this database is in inconsistent state and 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.”
After the above error message appears, the database becomes inaccessible to every user connected to the network.
Cause:
The main cause of the above error message is that Access database has been corrupted or damaged due to improper shutdown of the Access database at the client system while a process like query execution/ modification of table etc. was in progress. To prevent the occurrence of the above error message, you should close the database only when all the transactions have been completed.
Resolution:
To resolve the above error and access the database, you can use an inbuilt utility known as Compact and Repair.
