[AccessD] corruption

The problem is that too many users think that what they need is a backup
system that works.  What they really need is a recovery system that
works...

Thanks Gustav,
I tried this and a couple of other downloads and data recovery services
I googled up.

Nothing/no one recovered much of it. The main table had well over 20,000
records in it and the most anything recovered was 17. I will now have
them re-enter a couple of hundreds records. Oh well, it drove home my
point about testing backup jobs once in awhile to make sure they are
valid. (They thought I was a little bit paranoid or something when I
told them to do this and just blew it off.) This company backed up every
day - so they thought.
The last recoverable tape data we found this morning was from 11/03!

Doesn't hurt to have your advice reinforced by a problem like this but I
would have preferred otherwise.

John B.

I need a reference to the company that fixes corrupted access backend
databases. Anyone have one?
