Microsoft Access database contains many components to store records in different user-specified formats. A Table is one of the most commonly used database component that stores information about particular subjects. A Table include record(s) to store information about one instance of the table subject. It also contains field(s) to save to save data about one aspect of table subject. Corruption in Tables primarily occurs due to numerous reasons like MS Office corruption, operating system damage, and virus attacks. In most of the Table corruption scenarios, you encounter an error message that makes the data stored in Table inaccessible. In such situations, an ideal way to access your records is by restoring the data from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the required data, then you will need to use advanced repair access software.
Consider a scenario, where your Table (Employee) gets corrupted and you are not able to access its records. For complete access of records saved in Employee table, try out the below steps:
Export the Employee table to an ASCII file.
Delete all the relationships associated with Employee table, and then delete Employee table from your database.
Compact and Repair your database.
Re-create Employee table and all its relationships.
Examine the Employee's table ASCII file using a Word processor. Remove all strange and bad data from the file. Save the Employee file in an ASCII text file format.
Re-import the Employee ASCII file to a new re-created Employee table.
Re-enter all the records that deleted from Employee table.
In most cases, the above steps enable you to access all the records saved in the Employee table. But if in case, the above resolution fails to perform and your records still remain inaccessible, then you will need to opt for effective Access Database Repair software. These access repair tools are easily understandable as they are built with highly interactive user-interface. These applications use high end scanning methods to comprehensively repair Access database files after almost all scenarios. The read only nature of these tools ensure risk free database repair.
