Need Help Fixing Corrupted MDB File.

I have a .MDB file that got corrupted somehow. The point is that about 1
business day of data was lost. We are trying to see if we can prevent any
data loss in the future, and for that reason I've been researching tools in
'Download.com'.

I came across the following tools:
* Access Recovery
* Advance Access Repair
* Advance Office Repair
* Office Fix
* Recovery for Access
* UnTools

All but Office Fix could not repair it. Office Fix was able to read it and
show it was Access 2000 (which is not, it's really XP or 2002) but it didn't
show me any tables, data, names of objects inside, and if I wanted to find
out any further info I had to purchase it. So, I didn't since I did not want
to take a chance.

If anyone knows of a good tool that works, please let me know. My company
is willing to pay whatever 'reasonable' money for it (~$500, maybe more).

I'm willing to try any tool.

Your prompt answer will be very nice. Thanks.

Yours.

Hmmm, that's more than I knew about it.

That doesn't surprise me.

No, I'm not aware of any tool that works. Services yes, such as those
provided by PK Solutions and a few others. But not tools.

To me the best tool would be to convert your data MDB to SQL Server.

See my Random Thoughts on SQL Server Upsizing from Microsoft Access
Tips page at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/sqlserverupsizing.htm

There is a new tool from the SQL Server group.

Note that Tony is a MDB _WUSS_ and should not be trusted for anything


likewise for all the other MDB chipmunks around here


SQL Server doesn't just 'randomly corrupt'

TIME TO LOSE THE TRAINING WHEELS, KIDS!
