Has your access database become corrupted somehow?
When errors are detected in the underlying binary file format of the database, corruption occurs in MS Access. You may get random errors or difficulties accessing Access database files (.MDB/.ACCDB files)
Reasons for Microsoft Access database corruption
– Frequent editing of data in memo fields
Access database corruption occurs more frequently when data in memo fields is constantly edited. It is usually caused by an error in a VBA module and does not result in data loss. However, there is a risk of database design problems.
– Hardware failure
The Microsoft Access application can crash due to hardware errors such as lost packets on network cards and bad sectors on hard disks, which can lead to data loss.
– Incorrectly designed plug-ins
If third-party plug-ins are not built correctly, they can also corrupt the database when installed in Access. Plug-ins essentially run in the same memory space as Microsoft Access. Therefore, a plug-in failure can cause the program to fail, resulting in database corruption.
Tips for avoiding the damage of access database files
- Make sure that you do not exit or close the program before the writing process you have started is complete. A periodic check of the broken network hardware would be enough.
- Use another Windows program to open MS Access database files, as these files are designed to be accessed with the Microsoft Access application.
- Keep a recent backup copy of the MS Access database file for quick data recovery in case it becomes inaccessible or corrupted for any reason.
- Delete Microsoft Access lock information files, also known as .ldb files, which are the source of possible database corruption.
