Subject: [AccessD] Help - Corrupt Access MDB File

Hello AccessD,

Since Access 1.0, I have not had a corrupt access file, but I have one
today.

Can you advice me what I should do?  it is either 2000 or 2002-2003 format.

I cannot open, and cannot import objects and cannot compant and repair with
Access 2010.  Each time Access says "un recognised database format".

Finally, the file is 219 MB and it zipped to 219KB, which is way to tiny.

Any suggestions appreciated,

thanks

Mark
