Access Recovery to Fix Jet Engine and Access Database Corruption

Is your MS Access database (MDB or ACCDB) behaving strangely during start-up or while accessing? Are you unable to open Microsoft Access database? Are you experiencing Jet Engine 4.0 corruption errors in Microsoft Access 2000? All this may occur due to corruption of the database or its objects. After corruption, Access application can not read/understand the contents of the database, until you repair it or restore it from backup. If the backup is not available or not updated, access database recovery methods are required.

Access database corruption may take place due to a number of system, application, and environmental factors. The corruption can be identified by odd behavior of database, corruption error messages, or inability of database to open. You may encounter Access database corruption due to virus infection, application crash, improper system shutdown, simultaneous editing of the database, and more.

Microsoft Access application enables you to Repair Access File through inbuilt tool - Compact and Repair. It works in a number of MDB or ACCDB corruption scenarios and restores your database to a working state.

Compact and Repair Tool

The Compact and Repair utility is a combination of two programs - Compact and Repair. The Compact tool eliminates empty space in Access database. It does this by making a new database and then copying every object of old database to new one. If you do not want to create a new database while compacting the database, the tool creates a temporary Access database, exports all database objects from old to temporary database, deletes original Access database, and renames temporary database with the name of original database.

The Repair tool of Compact and Repair utility attempts to repair the database tables, queries, and indexes. However, it doesn't attempt to repair the damaged reports, modules, macros, and forms.

Although, Compact and Repair tool helps you in several situations to get your database repaired, but it does not repair all database objects and can not handle severe corruption situations. In such circumstances, third-party Access Database Repair applications come to your rescue.

The applications are powerful enough to handle all types of Access database corruption scenarios. They thoroughly scan entire database using high-end scanning algorithms and retrieve all database objects. These access repair tools do not demand sound technical skills as they have simple and rich graphical user interface. The software preserve the integrity of the database due to their read-only and non-destructive demeanor.

Access Recovery is a comprehensive application that repairs and restores damaged MDB and ACCDB database. The software works well with Microsoft Access 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000. It recovers all database objects such as tables, queries, indexes, reports, forms, macros, modules, and constraints.

Fixing Application and System-related Issues in MS Access

Ever wondered why you receive error messages while accessing your MS Access database? While the reasons could be countless, the main reason for the error message remains as application related issues.
These problems do allow the Access database to mount, further resulting in inaccessibility of database records. However, you can feel relaxed in case you have maintained a valid backup of your database and other data saved in your system. But in case you haven't, then you will need to use advanced access database recovery software to resolve application-related issues.

Below listed are some application-related issues that can result into an error message, while mounting the database:

A fragmented Access database
A corrupted Access database
Incorrect Registry settings
Bug in Microsoft Access

Interrupted Write Operation May Cause Access Database Corruption

Are you unable to open your Microsoft Access database after improper shutdown? Are you facing error message while trying to access any particular MS Access database object? Such behavior are caused by improper shutdown of Microsoft Access application. It may damage the database objects, database files, or application files, and eventually lead to significant data loss situation, and call for access database repair solution to sort the problem.

It is highly recommended to exit Microsoft Access application, by clicking on the Close or Exit option on File menu. But, if any Microsoft Access database write process is being performed, and suddenly Access is shut down, incorrectly, Jet Database Engine can mark the database or ACCDB/MDB file as corrupted/suspect.

The problem may take place when your computer is turned off manually without shutting down the system or if power outage occurs. Other circumstances might not shut down the MS Access but can interfere with write process of data (on the hard drive) by the Jet Engine while database is open. For instance, you may encounter this problem when the hard drive malfunctions or the networks face data collision.

When any of the above interruptions take place, Microsoft Jet Database Engine may mark your Access database as possibly damaged.

When Jet Engine starts the write operation, it sets up a flag and resets the flag after completion of write operation. In case if the operation does not complete successfully, flag remains intact. When you attempt to reopen the database, Jet finds out that flag is set and reports that Access database is damaged.

The above behavior leads to severe data loss situations and you need to restore your valuable data from the most recent backup to get your critical data back. However, in case the backup is not updated or is unavailable, Access Repair through third-party applications become need of the hour.

The Access File Repair software are powerful enough to carry out thorough scan of the corrupted MS Access database file and extract all inaccessible tables, forms, reports, macros, and modules. The access repair tools come equipped with simple, self-descriptive, and rich graphical user interface to enable you to carry out recovery on your own.

Stellar Phoenix Access Recovery Software is a read-only and powerful tool that provides assured recovery of corrupted Access database. The software works well with Microsoft Access 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000. In addition to all the access database objects, it also recovers database constraints such as primary key and foreign key.

Rectifying MS Access Error “Record(s) cannot be read..”

Tables in MS Access database (MDB file) have planned segregation of data in the form of columns and rows and serve as effective storage solutions for your data. Tables have separate cell which facilitate storing data separately.
But, when we talk about corruption, tables are no exception. Table corruption may occur due to a number of reasons like virus, system crash, improper system shutdown, and more.
Its corruption or damage may render all its data inaccessible. But, the data can be easily accessed and restored if you have an updated backup file. However, in case of unavailability of a backup file,one may access file repair using a third-party file repair tool.

Imagine a situation – Suppose, one day when you try to open a table in MDB file, an error message occurs that states:

“Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'xxxx' (Error 3112)”

After this error pops up, the data stored in the table becomes inaccessible.

Reason:
This error may occur owing to the following reasons:

If you do not have required or necessary permissions to view the table or its data.
If the table or data stored inside the table is corrupted or damaged.

Solution:
Use any of the following measures to solve the issue:

In case you do not have permissions to view table's data, then you need to consult your administrator to change the permission settings.
In case the table object is corrupted or damaged, you should use an inbuilt utility present in MS Access, known as 'Compact and Repair' to repair the database table.
However, if this tool fails to perform its task, then use a powerful access database repair software to Repair MDB File and retrieve all the data stored inside it. These applications are abundantly available in the software market, but choosing the best out of them is a confusing and tedious task. Generally, the task of such software is to restore the file without overwriting its original contents and settings. In addition, you do not need any prior technical skills to perform repair as these applications are built with interactive user interface.
