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.
