    Access Problems!

    I opened my beautifully coded Access Database today to find.... It's corrupted and won't open.

    I have a backup but it's OLD.

    I don't want to start from that backup.

    I've found repair tools such as:
    Officefix, accessfix, AAR etc, but don't really want to spend $600 for ONE database.

    Does anyone have
    A) One of these programs and a spare minute to run my database through it?
    B) An alternative?
    C) A hammer for my PC?


    Cheers

    Have you tried creating a new database and importing all the objects?

    good luck!

    I wish I had. 3 months of SQL and VBA down the drain. Lesson learnt. I tried importing, and all this is because I pulled the wrong plug out yesterday :@
