[AccessD] corrupt database - backup rather out-dated.

Hi Bill,

I was the most recent person to create a program to help resolve corrupt
databases.  There are undocumented functions named SaveAsText and
LoadFromText.  SaveAsText will take all the non-table objects and write them
to text files.  Then the reverse can be done with LoadFromText.  The idea is
to get the definition of the objects out of the 'corrupt' Access file, then
recreate these objects in a new database.

If you can send me an off-line copy (w/o tables if possible) I'll see what I
can do.

First, change the extension from .accdb to .pdf (this usually gets around
security checks).  Then zip the file and email it to me.  I can probably get
it back to you today or tomorrow morning at the latest.

If it's too large to email after being zipped, copy it to a blank disk and
let me know and I'll give you my address.

HTH,
Dan

Hi Bill:

There is an application, that was developed by programmers, from the DBA,
that goes through an existing database and extracts all the objects into
text files and than can rebuild a new database from these files. This method
is one of the purest methods to clean up a database. I am not sure if it
will work as there was some fixes to do with the application but I had
tested it and it really works. 

It has been a number of years ago and I just can not remember the name or
where a copy of this application is stored but I will look for it and send
it to you when it is found. I am sure there must be other members who
remember the product and have it stashed away somewhere.

Jim

I gave it a shot, it did create another database named Test but it did not
work, had all the same errors I was getting before.

Sub Try()
Dim D As Object
Dim strSource as string
Dim strDest as string

strSource = "D:\Docs\zzzProgramming and Consulting\2014 Programming
Development\Lew\Lew DB2.accdb"
strDest = "D:\Docs\zzzProgramming and Consulting\2014 Programming
Development\Lew\Test.accdb"
Set D = CreateObject("DAO.DBEngine.120") D.CompactDatabase strSource,strDest
, , 128 End Sub

Posting to both lists because this is urgent	My Ac2013 Accdb started
being corrupted for "no" (known) reason, my suspicion... maybe my PC ran out
of juice while on Standby, or maybe standby itself caused the problem. It is
completely unusable, I can open it and get an error message that says 'Id'
is not an index in this table (it never tells me what table), about 3 or 4
times; then any object I try to open I get that same message 10 to 20 times,
including all modules and linked tables. Eventually some tables will open.
Modules (which is what I am really after, I spent a lot of time coding)
never. I have not been able to import anything into a fresh database either.
I cannot get to the VBE inside it.

Does someone have a way to repair or crack this accdb open piece by piece to
get at its parts? I would be happy to send it to you, it is just my work, no
client data yet.
