MS Access 2007 database corrupted with Samba 3.3.2

Microsoft Access database can be corrupted due to application malfunctioning, operating system corruption, file system damage, concurrent modification of database by two or more users, malicious software like virus and more. In most of the above cases of Access database corruption, the database becomes unmountable and data saved in the database becomes inaccessible. In the absence of an up-to-date and valid data backup, you will need to use advanced Access Repair applications for absolute repair and restoration of lost data.

Consider a practical scenario, where you create a new Access database (named Accounts) that maintains the salary records for all the employees in the organization. However, when you attempt to open Accounts database with Samba 3.3.2 server, the database gets corrupted.

The database corruption further results in making all the salary records inaccessible. The main cause for the corruption of Accounts database is the use of Samba 3.3.2 application to mount the database. A Samba 3.3.2 server is open source software that allows file and print sharing between Windows and UNIX computers. The damage primarily occurs because your system is not properly configured to use Samba 3.3.2 server. To prevent the damage of MS Access database in such scenarios, avoid opening your database with Samba 3.3.2 server.

Resolution

To resolve the above issue and access the Accounts database, you will need to use an inbuilt utility known as “Compact and Repair.” To use this utility in Microsoft Office 2007, you need to follow these steps:

. Click on Microsoft Office button.
. From the Office menu, click “Tools”, select “Database Utilities”, then “Compact and Repair Database.”
. MS Access will display the “Database to Compact From” dialog box. Navigate to the database you wish to ‘Compact and Repair’ and then click the Compact button.
. Provide a new name for the compacted database and then click on the Save button.

But, if the above steps are unable to repair the Accounts database, then you need to opt for advanced access repair applications to systematically scan and repair the database.

These Access Database Repair tools employ high end scanning algorithms to completely repair and restore all corrupted Access database components.

Resolving “Enter password (when one hasn’t been applied)” Error Message in MS Access

An error message in MS Access database primarily occurs due to corruption or damage in the database. Few reasons responsible for the corruption can be application failure, operating system malfunctioning, virus infection and more. In most cases of Access database corruption, the database becomes inaccessible. To completely restore the inaccessible or lost data, you need to use an updated and valid data backup. However, if you have not created any backup or the backup fails to restore the required data, then you need to repair the corrupted database. To do so, you need to opt for advanced Access Repair applications.

As a practical instance, when you attempt to mount an Access database (Accounts), you encounter the below error message:

“Enter password”
(when one hasn’t been applied)

Accounts database becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears. Furthermore, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to mount the database.

Cause

The above error message primarily occurs when you try to mount the Access database under below circumstances:
• You attempt to open the MS Access database in a non-Access application like, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel etc.
• When a non-Access application contains a macro virus, which causes the applications to save documents automatically.
• When you apply a hyperlink from another Microsoft Office program to open the database.
• When you use a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) automation code to open the given database.

Resolution

To troubleshoot and resolve the above error message and mount the Accounts database, you need to follow these steps:

• Make sure that the database is not opened in a non-Access application.
• Ensure that the database does not contain any macro virus.
• If you are opening the database using a hyperlink, try to open it directly.

However, if the above error message still appears while mounting the Accounts database, then you need to repair the database. To do so, you will need to use advanced Access Repair applications.

Resolving Common Error Message in MS Access 2007, 2003, 2002 and 2000

A corrupted MS Access database always results in an error message or a warning message. In most cases, the error messages differ as per the program version. However, there are few error messages that remain same in all the Access versions. Error messages, of any kind primarily result in inaccessibility of data stored in Access database. In such situations, the most effective way to recover your data is by restoring it from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short of restoring the lost or inaccessible data, then you need to opt for advanced Access Repair applications.

Below is the error message that gets encountered for all Access versions (2007, 2003, 2002 and 2000) after database corruption:

The database ‘*.mdb’ needs to be repaired or isn’t a database file.
You or another user may have unexpectedly quit Microsoft Office Access while a Microsoft Office Access database was open. Do you want Microsoft Office Access to attempt to repair the database?

As the above error message states, the database is corrupted due to unexpected shutdown of Microsoft Office Access database. Furthermore, you will encounter the same error message each time you attempt to mount your database.

Resolution

To resolve the above error in all Access versions, you need to use an inbuilt utility known as Compact and Repair. To use this utility in Microsoft Office 2007, you will need to follow these steps:

. Click on Microsoft Office button.
. From the Office menu, click Tools, select Database Utilities, then Compact and Repair Database.
. MS Access will present the “Database to Compact From” dialog box. Navigate to the database you wish to Compact and Repair and then click on the Compact button.
. Provide a new name for the compacted database and then click on the Save button.

However, if the above utility is unable to repair the Access database, then you will need to use advanced access recovery applications to recover it.

Resolving “cannot find the input table or query…” Error message in MS Access

Queries in MS Access database are primarily used to view, modify and insert data into MS Access tables. The tables created in MS Access database can be corrupted due to concurrent modification, MS Office malfunctioning, malicious software like virus and more. Once the MS Access table is corrupted, the query executed by you might result in invalid records. In such scenarios, the best way to restore your data is by using an updated backup. However, if you have not created a valid backup or the backup fails to restore the required data, then you need to use advanced access recovery software.

Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter the below error message when you attempt to open a reference to a linked table (Customers) in MS Access:

“The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query ‘Customers’. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.”
Or
“Couldn’t find input table or query ‘Customers’”

Data saved in the Customers table becomes inaccessible after any of the above error messages appears. Furthermore, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to open the Customers table.

Cause

• Customers table is not updated.
• Customers table is corrupted
• Customers table has been deleted or renamed

Resolution

To resolve the above error messages and open the data saved in the Customers table, you need to follow these steps:

• Save the Customers table to any other location.
• Ensure only Customers table remains in the data folder.

If the above measures fail to resolve the issue, then you need to repair the corrupted Customers table. To do so, you should use an inbuilt repair utility “Compact and Repair”. However, if the above inbuilt utility is unable to repair the Customers table, then you need to use advanced Access Recovery applications to recover the database.

Rectifying Error Message “An error occurred…” in MS Access 2000

Data saved in the Microsoft Access database can become inaccessible when an error message is encountered at MS Access startup. Few main factors responsible for the occurrence of an error message can be MS Office malfunctioning, missing system.mdw file, malicious software like virus and more. In such situations, an up-to-date backup enables you to restore your lost data. However, if you have not created any backup or backup fails to restore the required data, then you need to opt for advanced access recovery applications.

Consider a practical example, where you created a custom profile for few database users who can access and modify the database. After creating the custom profile, when you attempt to start Microsoft Access 2000, you encounter the below error message:

“An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?”

Furthermore, when you click on Yes or No, you encounter another error message:

“Microsoft Access couldn’t find file ’system.mdw’. This file is required for startup.”

The data saved in the MS Access database becomes inaccessible after above error message appears. In addition, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to open the database.

Cause

The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is the untraceable system.mdw file. This is a workgroup file that is required at the time of MS Access startup. The error message occurs when all the below conditions are true:

• The workgroup file is not positioned in the similar folder as Msaccess.exe.
• The shortcut that you are using to start MS Access does not contain a /Wrkgrp switch, which points to a valid workgroup file.
• The custom profile that you are using does not contain a “Jet” subkey, which points to a valid workgroup file.

Resolution

To resolve the above issue and open the database, you will need to use advanced Access Recovery applications to repair the database. These Access Repair applications incorporate powerful scanning methods to provide comprehensive repair and restoration of all Access database components. Such recovery tools enable you to completely recover and restore both (.accdb and .mdb) Access database files.

Report Corruption in MS Access 2003 database

The Design view of MS Access database contains the details (field name, data types and descriptions) for every table field. These details analyze the value to be stored in such fields. Improper and frequent changes done in the design view of any Access table might result as table corruption which will cause data inaccessibility. In such situations, backup acts as a boon to restore the settings and data of your corrupted table. However, if no back up is available or the backup fails to restore the required data, then you need to opt for efficient access recovery tools.

As a practical instance, you make some changes in the Design view properties of your “Financial_year” report. After saving all the changes, when you attempt to open your report, you encounter an error message. Your Access 2003 database crashes after the occurrence of the error message.

Cause

The error message primarily occurs due to improper change in the Design view of “Financial_year” report. To prevent the data loss in such scenarios, you need to follow these steps:

• Maintain a backup of the report before making any changes
• Keep the record of changes that you make in the Design view

Resolution

To resolve the above problem, restore the original field data properties and then copy the data from an updated backup. In case, there is no backup created or the backup is not up-to-date or invalid, you will need to manually enter the lost information. Manually entering the values is feasible only if the report contains less number of fields. However, if the table consists of large number of fields, manual entry of the fields might result in more problems.

The best option available to resolve the above issue is to recover the data stored from “Financial_year” report by using advanced Access Recovery applications.

Such Access Database Repair tools completely scan and recover your lost Access database objects by using advanced scanning algorithms. These recovery tools are easy to use due to their user-friendly interface and simple documentation. Such tools generally support both .mdb and .accdb formats of Access database.
