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”
