MS Access Database Repair Utility

[Scorbing]

I need a utility that can repair Microsoft Access database files, but it has to be freeware because we are going to use it were I work.

Is there such a utility?

Please help someone

I only know of being able to repair databases in Access itself, maybe some here at Neowin can shed some more light on it :) ....

There are a lot of utilities available that can repair Access files, but they are not freeware. For example, these here:

www.recover-access.repair.nu

I need a freeware version.

You know that if you are using it for work, then, they 'should' be willing to pay for it :yes:

Also, most freeware utilitys are only free for personal / non profit use :whistle:

Do you know what the problem is with the database? The built in repair tool can fix a lot of errors, or you could create a new (blank) database and try importing the objects (tables, queries etc).

Have a look at this article from the MS KB:

As far as software goes, I have never needed any so can't recommend.
