corrupted database file

[Bryan]

I have a .mdb file that will not open following a server
crash. All attempts to 'repair' are met with failure to
open the file.

A demo version of 'Access Recovery' can access the data so
I suspect that the data is intact.

Any help would be warmly received.

Regards

bryan

Hi Bryan -

Not sure which version of Access you are using but here are some articles to
help you troubleshoot and hopefully recover/repair as much data as possible.
