Lost Images in MS Access database

Microsoft Access database allows you to save different types of images (scanned art, computer graphics, and digital pictures) on its various components like tables, forms, reports, and more. These images can either be embedded as the internal part of database file or can be linked to a network or hard drive. Inaccessibility of these images primarily occurs due to Access database corruption, network damage, and similar reasons. To overcome such situations, you can restore all the images from an updated backup. But if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the required images, then you will need to opt for access repair software that can repair your database and recover all the images.

Consider a practical scenario, where you have embedded some static pictures (company logo and background images) in your financial report to make it more descriptive. However, when you open your financial report, the static pictures do not appear. Few most common reasons for disappearing of images are discussed below:

· Access database corruption

· VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) corruption

To access all your inaccessible images, you will need to take below actions:

· Analyze VBA code used for displaying the static images.

· If the VBA code is correct, then repair your database using “Compact and Repair” utility. To use the repair utility, follow the below steps:

1. Select Database Utilities under Tools drop down list. Click “Compact and Repair Database.”

2. Click Compact after searching and selecting the database in the ‘Database to Compact From’ dialog box.

3. Select a new folder location for the file in the ‘Compact Database Into’ dialog box. Provide a unique name to the file.

4. Click on Save.

The repair utility makes the images accessible in most cases. But if in case, both the resolutions fail to resolve your issue and your images still remain inaccessible, then you will need to use an advanced Access Repair tool that can recover all your lost images. Such Access Database Repair tools use high end scanning methods to recover all your lost images. These recovery utilities are built with highly graphical user-interface that makes them easily understandable without any prior technical skills.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery is a powerful access database repair utility that provides complete recovery of all images after any corruption scenario. The read only software supports Microsoft Access 2007, 2003, XP (2002), and 2000, and recovers all images in just three simple steps.

Repairing corrupted tables in MS Access database

Microsoft Access database contains many components to store records in different user-specified formats. A Table is one of the most commonly used database component that stores information about particular subjects. A Table include record(s) to store information about one instance of the table subject. It also contains field(s) to save to save data about one aspect of table subject. Corruption in Tables primarily occurs due to numerous reasons like MS Office corruption, operating system damage, and virus attacks. In most of the Table corruption scenarios, you encounter an error message that makes the data stored in Table inaccessible. In such situations, an ideal way to access your records is by restoring the data from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the required data, then you will need to use advanced Access Database Repair software.

Consider a scenario, where your Table (Employee) gets corrupted and you are not able to access its records. For complete access of records saved in Employee table, try out the below steps:

· Export the Employee table to an ASCII file.

· Delete all the relationships associated with Employee table, and then delete Employee table from your database.

· Compact and Repair your database.

· Re-create Employee table and all its relationships.

· Examine the Employee’s table ASCII file using a Word processor. Remove all strange and bad data from the file. Save the Employee file in an ASCII text file format.

· Re-import the Employee ASCII file to a new re-created Employee table.

· Re-enter all the records that deleted from Employee table.

In most cases, the above steps enable you to access all the records saved in the Employee table. But if in case, the above resolution fails to perform and your records still remain inaccessible, then you will need to opt for effective Access Database Repair software. These Access Repair tools are easily understandable as they are built with highly interactive user-interface. These applications use high end scanning methods to comprehensively repair Access database files after almost all scenarios. The read only nature of these tools ensure risk free database repair.
