[AccessD] Best way to fix database

Number 1 on the list should always be "Make a backup copy of the mdb"

Then...
compact and repair
Still not good?... Decompile (not officially supported, so make sure you
backup)

If neither of the above fixes the problem try  using JetComp to compact the
database.

Still no luck? Import everything into a new database.

If you think you know that a specific code module is causing the problem
then try this.


Open the module and comment out all the code lines
Save the module
Compact and repair
Compile
Open the module again and uncomment all the code lines
Save the module
Compact and repair
Compile
Compact and repair.

Is this the correct order of operations to fix a flaky mdb? I can't remember
what order works best.

decompile
compile
save
compact and repair
import to new container
