My DB worked fine, but last time I opened it, my comp crashed. After this, I
couldn't open this DB anymore. Unfortunately, I run immeadelety scnadisk,
without making a copy of the DB. And scandisk found some corrupted sectors,
but not on the disk my DB is stored on.
I'am really ashamed and I can't understand myself, but, indead their is no
backup of this DB.
So I read in a book to make a copy of that DB and try to open this copy for
repair. I did so, but nothing happens. If I try to open the DB, or oppen for
repair, Access behaves as I didn't do any command. I also repaired Access
itself: No effect at all.
Using a hexeditor, I can see that their aare my datas (or parts of it)
still in that file.
Is their any way to recover that DB?

Thanks in advance
