[AccessD] OT: Corrupted database

If you have a known good copy of it you can try to open that in a editor, 
copy and paste the beginning of that file on top of the hosed one (a copy of 
the hosed one actually) save the tweaked file and see if you can open it 
then to try and copy out what you can. Sometimes the header at the beginning 
of the file get's trashed. Never done it, only heard about it.  Proceed at 
your own risk.
