Many Access users are not aware that one of the most common reasons behind the sudden inaccessibility of their Access databases might have to do with a damaged installation of Microsoft Access. In fact, an improper installation of Access will result in corrupted DLLs (Dynamic Link Library files) or even missing DLLs as well as in incorrect registry settings. If you find that your database has been damaged as a result, you might have to restore all the data from a backup copy of the database. On the other hand, if you do not have a backup handy or your backup does not have all the updated information, there may be a real fear of losing some data. Advanced Access Repair is an excellent option for easy Access recovery.
If you are dealing with a damaged installation of Access, you might come across the following errors when you try opening your Access database-
· You are unable to mount your database
· You are able to mount the database but are not able to view the records contained in the database at all
· You are able to mount the database and are able to view the records with some difficulty
· You keep getting fatal error messages making it impossible to access the database
All these error messages are because of a damaged installation of MS Access. In such a case, you should try re-installing MS Access and use recovery tools such as Advanced Access Repair for Access recovery and restoring of data.
Once you re-install Access, you should try performing all the above tasks once more to confirm that you no longer face the same problems and that the issue has been resolved. If your database continues to behave in the same manner, you may need to use Access database repair tools such as Advanced Access Repair that employ sophisticated scanning methods to locate the database contents and restore them without loss of any data.
