Unpredictable behavior of MS Access

Are you viewing strange error messages while opening your MS Access database? Or the records from the database components is missing? Or you able to work with only few database components? If the answer for any of the above questions is 'yes', then in most cases your Access database file is corrupt. Corruption of MS Access database causes unpredictable behavior, resulting into numerous personal and professional hazards. An easy way to overcome the unpredictable behavior of the MS Access database is by restoring the database from an updated backup. In most cases, the database administrators maintain a proper backup on a different storage media. But, if the backup created by administrators itself gets corrupted, then the only way to repair the database is by using an advanced access repair utility.

In most of the corruption scenarios, MS Access detects that the file is corrupted. However, if MS Access is unable to detect, then your Access file might be containing a reference of another MS Access file. In any case, if you view that your MS Access database is behaving unpredictably, then you will need to Compact and Repair it.

The inbuilt utility of MS Access – Compact and Repair – is competent enough to repair the following:

Corrupt MS Access database components like, tables, forms, modules, and reports.
Lost/missing information related to the structure of an MS Access VBA project.
Lost/missing information required to open the database objects.


To use the above utility, you will need to follow the below steps:

1.Select the option 'Tools' and then select 'Compact and Repair Database'.
2.Click on 'Database to Compact From' option and then click on 'Compact' option. The repair process will begin once click on the above option.
3.Click 'Save' and give a unique name to repaired Access database.

The above repairing steps fail to repair an Access database, in case of severe database corruption. A database gets severely damaged due to fatal virus attack, operating system damage, or network failure. To repair your database in such cases, you will need a powerful Access Repair application. These repair access tools use intensive repairing procedures to repair the database.

Access Recovery, a reliable Access Database Repair tool, provides repair of Access database regardless of the cause of logical damage. Supported by MS Access 2007, 2003, XP (2002), and 2000, the repair utility is designed for Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP, and 2000.

Access Database corrupt after Importing Forms with VBA code


Forms are MS Access database components, which are primarily used to perform data entry, enter custom information, and go through the system. In real-time environment, most of the projects are built with forms that contain VBA (Visual Basic Application) code. This code enables the database user to directly update the Access database. While importing of forms (with VBA code) can be easily performed, the process might result into corruption of MS Access database. Once the database gets corrupted, an error message pops up, that does not allow you to access the data stored in the database. For accessing the database records after corruption of database, an updated database backup acts as a boon. It helps you to restore the data and continue with your work. However, if the database backup is not available or backup backup file is not updated, then you will need to repair the database using an advanced access repair application.

Consider a practical scenario, where you import some forms-that contain VBA code-into another database. However, when you attempt to open the forms in the database after importing, you receive any of the below error messages:

'The event 'OnClick' has caused errors'

Or

'Unable to save - Network connection may have been lost'


Once any of the above error message appears, the database becomes unmountable resulting into inaccessibility of records.

Cause:

The root cause for the above error message is corruption of Access database.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error messages and repair the corrupted database, you will need to use Compact and Repair the database. The utility is inbuilt in MS Access and provides repair in most of the situations. But, the repair utility fails if the corruption is severe. In such situations, you will need to use and effective Access Repair tool to repair the database.

An repair access application comprehensively scans the corrupted Access database and repairs it to maximum possible level. The repair utility does delete, overwrite, or add the data saved in the original file, making it totally safe and risk-free.

Cyclic Redundancy Check error in MS Access

A corrupted MS Access database file can be a head ache for any database user. Corruption in Access database file most likely occurs due to numerous logical factors like, improper system shutdown, MS Office malfunctioning, virus infection, and simultaneous modification of same database component. In most cases of database file damage, an error message pops up that halts you to access any of its stored records. An easy alternative to overcome such error message is by restoring the data from an updated database backup. But, with database users having the habit of forgetting to create an adequate backup, or unable to create backup due to time-shortage, the only option left is to repair the corrupt Access database file using an advanced access repair software application.

Below is an error message that pops up while attempting to open the database file:

“Cannot find the file d:.....\my.mbd or one of its components”

The records stored in the Access database becomes unmountable after the above error message pops up. In addition, the error message does not allow you to access the database file.

Cause:

The root cause for the above error message is corruption in Access database file.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and to access the database file records, you will need to follow the below measures:

Repair your database using the inbuilt repair utility “Compact and Repair”.
If the problem persists, create a new database file and copy the components one by one into it. However, there are possibilities that while copying the database file, you receive an “Cyclic Redundancy Check” error. In such situations, you should search for an advanced Access Database Repair application to repair you database file.

An access recovery software tool repairs logically corrupted database files and restores them on your desired location. The database administrators or the end users can easily perform the database repair, as the application does not require any prior repair experience. The repair tool is completely safe as it does not modify or overwrite the existing records of the database file.

Unable to open Access Database file

Visual Basic Application (VBA) macros are primarily used to increase the functionality of the standard user interface. These VBA macros are primarily created by the database users to perform a some critical task, that requires numerous functions to be executed at one go. However, like any other programming language, these macros can be built specifically to corrupt your Access database. In such cases, your database becomes unmountable, further resulting into inaccessibility of all its stored records. To avoid any such hazard, most of the database users maintain a valid database backup on a different storage media. However, if the database user forgets to create an adequate backup or backup falls short to restore the required data, then you will need to use advanced access file repair application to repair the corrupt database.

To illustrate the above case, picture a situation where some user (with a malicious intent) modifies the code used in your VBA macro. The impact of the change is that after the macro runs, you can not open that particular database file again. In addition, you do not receive any error message for the same. The database file could not be opened after trying all the below measures:

Compacting and repairing the database.
Opening the database file by holding shift key.
Opening MS Access using decompile option. (This only opens the application, not the database).
Creating new database and importing all the components into it.
Accessing file using new database using DAO objects.
Opened other database files on same machine.

When all the above steps fail to resolve your issue and the database file still could not be opened, then you will need to use advanced Access Database Repair application to repair the corrupted database. An repair access tool is used to repair the database after it is corrupted due any logical crash. The tool embeds powerful scanning methods to repair the database and restore it on the new or default location. The repair application is easy-to-understand due to its interactive user-interface. The software is completely non-destructive as it does not performs any modifications in original database records.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery is a superb application to repair all kinds of logically corrupted databases. Compatible with Access 2007, 2003, XP (2002), and 2000, the free downloadable demo version of the Access Repair tool allows you to preview all the repairable database file. The tool is deigned for Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP, and 2000.

Fixing “Cannot add a new column...” Error Message

Tables are the most commonly used MS Access database component for storing database records. A database user can easily add and modify records saved in the tables. However, addition, deletion, or modification becomes impossible in case the table gets severely corrupted or damaged. In such cases, if the user needs to access the table records or wants to perform any of the above operations, then the user needs to restore the table from an updated backup. However if in case, the backup is not available or backup fails to restore the data, then you will need to repair the table. To effectively do so, you will need to use advanced third-party access repair software.

Consider a practical scenario, where you receive the below error message while attempting to add a new column in the table:

“Cannot add a new column to conflict table '|'. Delete obsolete columns and compact the
database.”

As described in the error message, the no column can be added in the table, as the table is corrupted.

Cause:

Few main reasons for corruption of the table could be simultaneous modification of table records by two or more users, virus attack, human errors, and more.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message, you will need to delete the obsolete columns, and compact and repair the table. To do so, you will need to follow the below steps:

1.From the Toolbar menu, Click on 'Tools'.
2.In the 'Database Utilities' list, click 'Compact and Repair Database'.
3.In the 'Database to Compact From', select the damaged database. Click 'Compact'.
4.When the repair process is finished, provide a new name to the database. Click 'Save'.

While compacting helps in resolving the error message in most cases, there are certain situations where these steps fail to resolve the issue. These cases occur when the Access database file is corrupted badly. In such scenarios, you will need to use an effective access database repair application to repair the table. Such Access Repair tools use powerful and latest repairing procedures to repair the corrupt Access database components.

Handling Errors post Accdb and Mdb files Damage

Access database files (.accdb/.mdb) corruption can be easily identified when you receive one or more error message while mounting the database. While the reasons for file corruption could be many, the result in most cases is the same – inaccessibility of database file records. In such cases, the most convenient way to access you records is by restoring them from an updated backup. Most of the Access database users maintain a valid backup, mainly on another storage media. However, if the users forget to create a backup or the storage media gets physically damaged, then they need to repair the database by using a powerful third-party repair access application.

Below are certain error messages that appear after the Access database files get corrupted:

“A problem occurred in your database. Correct the problem by repairing and compacting the
database.”
Or
“You requested an invalid file. The file may be corrupt. Contact the person who created the file
and request a new copy.”
Or
“Microsoft Office Access can't compact and repair the current database.”

Such errors primarily result in making the database file records inaccessible.

Resolution:

To repair corrupt MS Access database files, you will need to use an inbuilt repair utility known as “Compact and Repair”. Compacting and repairing can be performed by following below steps:

1.To start, click 'Tools' button on the toolbar menu.
2.Next, select the option 'Compact and Repair Database'. The option is available in 'Database Utilities' list.
3.Select the corrupt Access database file under the option 'Database to Compact From’.
4.Click 'Compact'.
5.Assign a new and unique name to repaired Access database file.
6.Click 'Save'.

The above steps to repair the Access database files prove successful in most corruption scenarios. However, if the corruption persists even after following the above steps, then you will need to use advanced access repair application to repair the files.

The Access Repair application can be easily downloaded from Internet and the repairing can be performed even by a novice user. The repair tool is completely non-destructive, as it does not make any modifications in the original content of the file.

Fixing problems post Database Conversion from Access 2003 to 2007

Databases created in MS Access 2000, 2002, and 2003 can be easily converted to Access 2007 by following few simple steps. The conversion to Access 2007 (.accdb) supports new features, including enhanced security, attachments and use of multivalued fields. Although, the conversion process can be performed even by a novice user, it might result into numerous problems, if not performed systematically. The outcome of unsystematic conversion, in most cases, is corruption of MS Access database. The records stored in the corrupted database can not be accessed, as the database could not be mounted. In such cases, the database records need to be restored from an updated backup, primarily stored on some other destination. But, in absence of an updated database backup, you will need to use an advanced access repair tool to repair the corrupt database.

Consider a practical scenario, when you were converting your MS Access 2003 database file to MS Access 2007. While the conversion process was in progress, your system froze, halting the conversion process in between. With no options left, you perform an improper shutdown of your system. However, when you restart your system and attempt to access the original Access 2003 database file, you view that all the Macros, Forms, and Reports were gone.

Cause:

The root cause for missing of the database components is corruption of Access 2003 database file due to improper system shutdown while ongoing conversion process.

Resolution:

To resolve the above problem and access the data saved in the database objects, you will need to Compact and Repair the corrupted database file. However, if compacting and repairing the file fails to resolve the issue and the database components still remain inaccessible, then you will need to search for an effective third party Access Repair software.

An repair access tool is developed by talented database recovery experts and ensures maximum repair. The software embeds powerful scanning methods to scan and repair the corrupt database file. With no requirement of any technical knowledge, the tool allows even a novice database user to perform file repair.

Tips to Resolve “You have chosen to alter the mode...” Error Message

Error messages at the initial stage of database startup (mounting an MS Access database) or while accessing the database can leave the database user into difficult situations. Such error messages primarily result in unmountability of database, which further result in inaccessibility of stored records. The root cause for occurrence of such error messages is damage in MS Access database. An easy way to access the database records in such situations is by restoring the data from an updated backup. While most of database users maintain a valid backup for their database, there are some who forget to do so. For them, a powerful third-party access file repair application acts as a boon.

Consider a practical situation, where you receive the below error message while attempting to view the records using a query:

You have chosen to alter the mode in which SQL syntax will be interpreted in this database.
This will mean: Existing queries may return different results or not run at all. The range
of data-types and reserved words will change. Different wild cards will be used. It is
recommended that you make a backup copy of this database before continuing. If you agree
to continue, Access will close this database, compact it, and re-open in the new mode. Select
OK to continue.

As the error message explains, the query will either display wrong results or not execute at all.

Cause:

Access Database corruption due to altering the mode.

Resolution:

The resolution as suggested in error message is to compact and repair the database using below steps:

1.Firstly, select 'Tools' (option available on the Toolbar Menu).
2.Now, select 'Compact and Repair Database' (option available under 'Database Utilities' list).
3.Click 'Database to Compact From’ (to select the corrupt database).
4.Click 'Compact' (for beginning the repair process).
5.Click Save after providing a desired location to save the repaired database.

Compacting and repairing the database resolves your issue in most corruption scenario. In case compacting and repairing process fails, you will need to use effective repair access tool. An Access Repair application uses effective repairing algorithms, which comprehensively scan and repair the corrupt database.

Fixing Error Messages post MDB file Corruption

Database files (.mdb/.accdb) created by using MS Access application save records in the form of various components, like tables, forms, queries, and views. These files are world-widely used to maintain personal as well as professional details. Like any other files, these database files are also prone to corruption due to various internal and external reasons. Corruption of any kind in these files primarily results in inaccessibility of their saved records. For comprehensive accessibility of file records post corruption, an ideal way is to restore the data from an updated backup. But in absence of an updated backup, you will need to repair the corrupt database file. To do so, you will need to opt for an powerful third-party access file repair application.

Consider a practical scenario, where you receive the underneath error message when you attempt to open the front-end part of your database, saved on your desktop:


"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file \\servername\company\CustomerAccounts.mdb. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data"

You might receive another error message when you double-click on the front-end file icon located in your company's folder:

“Microsoft Access can't find the database file '\\servername\company\CustomerAccounts.mdb.' Make sure you entered the correct path and file name”

Once the above error message appear, the database records become inaccessible.

Cause:

The above error messages appear when CustomerAccounts.mdb gets corrupted or damaged. Few main causes of corruption can be improper system shutdown, application malfunction, virus attack, and more.

Resolution:

An easy way to resolve both the above error messages is by creating another MDB file and importing one by one tables into it. When all the tables are imported, compact and repair the database. If the above resolution fails to provide desired results, then you will need to use an effective Access Database Repair utility.

An repair access software repairs and restores the corrupt MDB file, regardless of its cause of corruption. Such utilities are serve as self-explanatory tools and do not require any former technical knowledge for understanding.
