You may be the most cautious person when it comes to handling files and folders on your computer, but believe it or not, if you are a user of MS Access Database files, someday or the other, you will end up getting Access database file corruption or in other words, MDB corruption. Read on to know what are the causes as well as the available methods that can be used to repair Access files.
Quite possibly, MS Access files are one of the most fragile files available on your computer's hard disk and there is nothing that cannot corrupt these files. Anything from a friendly rename operation on the MDB files or a shift of path can lead to Access database file corruption. Access files are so fragile because they have a structure that is optimized for fast data retrieval along with equally fast update and insert operations. While Access files can be made more robust by changing the file options, you will lose out on the database speed and agility to read data in case of filters in the database query. The best choice at the end of the day remains to let Access databases be susceptible to changes so as to maintain speed. What about database corruption? Yes, we can take care of that by using utilities available in MS Access as well as using third party professional software that can be used to repair databases with ease. Let's see how.
Using Jet Compact Utility To Repair Access Databases
Jet compact is a useful utility that can be used to heal databases that are corrupted due to changes. Usually, when MS Access finds out that a database file needs repair, it shows a message that allows the user to begin the automatic database repair process, thus eliminating any need for specialization.
Another way to repair access databases is to use the 'Database Utilities' menu item under 'Tools' menu and click 'select and Repair Database' option.
Even though using this utility can be beneficial, it does not serve advanced repairs and thus rises the need to use third party software like Advanced Access Repair that uses sophisticated algorithms to detect the type of database corruption and automatically fixes it all with the click of a single button. Such software also negates the chances of accidently erasing the data that your database files have and assure full Access database repair.
