If you’ve used the Access database, you know that it’s Microsoft’s proprietary Database Management System (DBMS). And just as Microsoft’s other applications, it’s efficient as well as very user-friendly. MS Access has a relational MS Jet Database Engine with development tools running at the back and an easy to grasp user interface at the front. The ease of use it offers makes this DBMS a preferred choice for many corporates. However, database files are often plagued by corruption, which can pose a threat to the extremely vital data present in them. MS Access is no different and often faces corruption. This article is helpful for Microsoft Access database repair and you understand the reasons behind MS Access database corruption and the ways in which it can be resolved.
Special Tips – Don’t forget to check out this MDB repair article if you are using MS Access 2003 or lower versions.
Reasons for Access Database Corruption
When the binary file format of a database encounters an error, database corruption occurs. In such a case, users might face random errors or difficulty in using the database. The Jet Database Engine of Access auto-fixes minor issues that crop up in the database from time to time while reading and writing data normally. Due to this, in most cases, you may never find out that something went wrong! This is both good and bad. Good because your work is not interrupted, bad because corruption can become worse with time if not treated. Hence it is important to understand every aspect of Access database corruption.
Here are the main reasons behind it:
- Frequent edits to data in Memo fields increases the chances of Access database corruption. It mostly results from a problem with a VBA module and does not pose a risk of data loss. However, it does pose a risk of database design damage.
- Interrupted change to data — because of network service loss for example — causes Access to mark the database file as corrupted. The file can be repaired, but some data may be missing after the repair is complete.
- If a Virus infects a file needed by the Access database, as soon as that file is used when the database opens, the infection will spread to the database and corrupt it.
- Hardware failures like lost packets on network cards and bad sectors on hard drives can cause database corruption.
- Improperly designed or installed third-party plug-ins for Access can corrupt the database.
- If multiple users of the same database have different Jet service packs and updates installed, minor differences in the mdb file format and file-locking mechanisms can cause database corruption.
- A few bugs in Access and Jet software are sometimes themselves responsible for corruption.
- Though it happens very rarely, improper shutdown of the system while some activity is being performed on the database can lead to its corruption.
Repairing Access database and recovering data
Generally, when database corruption occurs, the only solution we can think of is sending the database to an Access data recovery company or calling their experts over. However, what we don’t realize is that sometimes, the corruption is minor enough to be handled by us ourselves. Here are some manual techniques to rectify database corruption:
- Restore the database from a backup file – This is why backups are very important!
- Delete the .ldb file that is auto-created by the Jet database engine when the database is opened.
- Use the Jet Compact Utility that has been specifically designed to rectify minor corruptions in Access database.
- Remove all compiled VBA code from the database. This can be done using this command line switch from Microsoft:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMsAccess.exe /decompile C:DatabasePathFileName.mdb
Note: You may need to change the path shown above for MsAccess.exe if you installed it to a different location.
- Use the built-in Access 2010 ‘Compact & Repair‘ feature. Here are the steps to fix Access database corruption using this feature:
- Open MS Access (not the database file) and go to Database Tools -> Compact & Repair Database.
- Locate the corrupted database file and click on Ok.
- The selected database file will be rectified on completion of the process
- Import the corrupt database into a new Access 2010 database file by using the following steps:
- Open MS Access and create a new database file.
- Click on Access to Import Access database under the External Data tab.
- In the next window that pops-up, click on Browse and locate the database file while is to be imported.
- Specify the place and technique to store data in the new database and click on Ok.
- From the next window select all database objects that you want to import and click on Ok.
- If even after all the above techniques, the database corruption persists, the recommended solution would be to buy a premium quality third-party Access database repair software.

QuickBooks is a crucial tool for businesses. It helps organizations manage their money, pay their employees, and pay their bills. But QuickBooks is also a fairly complex application. This complexity means that QuickBooks is prone to having problems.
I do a lot of work on QuickBooks and have gathered some of the common issues I deal with almost daily. These tips may help you solve those issues before you lose your hair or your money.
Note: This article is also available as a PDF download.
1: Updating the data file fails
This can be very tricky. When you are upgrading QuickBooks from one version to the next, sometimes the earlier version's data file can't be read by the newer version. Because of this, the data file must be updated. Usually this will happen during the installation process and will require you make a backup first. However, to avoid any issues with the data file, make sure you run a verification on that file before you uninstall the old version or install the new version. Better yet, install the new version side by side with the old version so you will always have a fallback.
2: Rebuilding the data file fails
Sometimes, that verified data still will not upgrade to the newer version. In this case, you will have to go back to the older version and do a rebuild of your data. For some users, this is an easy task. But when dealing with the file that holds the keys to the company's financial kingdom, others will hesitate. If you do find yourself in a situation where you have to rebuild the data, do it in this order: Back up your data file, verify your data file, rebuild your data file. If the rebuild simply won't work, you might want to make sure that data file is located on the local machine. QuickBooks is insistent that the data file be located on the C: drive. That means even if your data file is on the Q: drive (and that Q drive is on the local machine but shared, so QuickBooks THINKS it's on a different drive), QuickBooks could have an issue with the rebuild. So before the rebuild, copy the data file to the C: drive, do the rebuild, and move the data file back where you need it.
3: You lose the connection to the data file
This is probably the most common issue, as well as the most challenging to troubleshoot. QuickBooks is finicky about the network connection to the data file. If there is the slightest hiccup in the network, your connection can be lost. If you're sure QuickBooks is set up correctly, you might want to use the QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool to help you figure out what's going wrong. Also, make sure your firewall and your antivirus are allowing the connection through.
4: The reinstall fails
If you need to reinstall QuickBooks, there is a little something you might not hear about from Intuit: The clean uninstall. Before you do your reinstall, go ahead and uninstall using the standard Windows uninstall methods — but then go back and delete the C:Program FilesIntuitQuickBooksXXX directory (where XXX is the release number), as well as the C:WindowsUsersDocuments And SettingsProgram DataIntuitQuickBooksXXX directories (again, where XXX is the release number). As with any time you are dealing with QuickBooks, BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST!
5: QuickBooks run slowly in multi-user mode
This one is tricky because there can be a number of issues (as with any slowdown). If you have ruled out hardware, you might be facing issues in your data file. The fastest route to solving this is to use the Clean Up Company Data tool found in File | Utilities. If this doesn't give you much of a speed boost, you can always turn off the Audit Trail feature.
6: QuickBooks client machine can't locate the data file on the server
The first thing to do here is to make sure that the Server Manager is installed on the server machine and that it's running. If that doesn't work, map the drive to the server from the client and try to connect that way. Most likely, if you can see the server from the client, the issue is that the Server Manager is not running.
7: You can't find the licensing information
If you've lost your documentation and can't find your license/product numbers, you can always locate them by hitting either [F2] or [Ctrl]1 when QuickBooks is open (and you're logged into your data file). But you can't find your validation code. If you have to reinstall, you'll have to re-register (unless you wrote that validation code down... HINT HINT!).
8: A new printer won't print
This one is simple but still flummoxes users all the time:
- Close QuickBooks.
- Search for the file qbprint.qbp.
- Rename qbprint.qbp to qbprint.qbp.old.
- Restart QuickBooks and printing should work.
9: You've lost the admin password
Shame on you for losing your admin password. It does happen, though. Or maybe you're a new administrator coming into a tricky situation where the old admin didn't leave the password. Fear not; you can recover that password by using the QuickBooks Automated Password Reset Tool. It's not 100 percent foolproof, but it works most times.
10: You can't copy or move the QuickBooks data file
Have you ever tried to copy that QuickBooks data file from your hard drive to a removable drive (for backup or migration purposes), only to find out the file is locked? This is a simple one. QuickBooks Server Manager and Directory Monitor have that file locked down. Close out QuickBooks, click Start | Run, enter services.msc, look for the QuickBooks services, and stop those two. Once the services are stopped, you should be able to copy and paste that file.
