Rectifying “NameOfTheFile has detected corruption…” Error Message when trying to open an MS Ac

With the advancement of new Access database versions, database users are benefited with new and advance features provided in that version. However, when you attempt to open the database in a new version, you might encounter an error message stating that your database has been corrupted. In such situations, the best possible way is to restore the data from an up-to-date backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the desired information, then you need to use advanced access repair application to comprehensively repair the corrupted database.

Consider a practical scenario, where you have created a database (such as Employees) in MS Access 2002. The database opens in Access 2002 without any problem. But, when you attempt to open the same database in MS Access 2007, you encounter the below error message:

"NameOfTheFile has detected corruption in this file. To try to repair the corruption,...."
NameOfTheFile is the database that has been corrupted.

Data saved in the Employee database becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears. In addition, you receive the same error message each time you attempt to open the database.

Cause:

The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is the corruption of Employee database.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the Employee database, you need to use an inbuilt built repair utility named "Compact and Repair." To do so, you need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the Tools menu, select Database Utilities and then click Compact and Repair Database.
2. Locate and then click the database in the ‘Database to Compact From' dialog box, and then click Compact.
3. Select an appropriate folder location for the new file in the ‘Compact Database Into' dialog box, type a unique name for the file and then click on Save.

In most cases, the utility resolves your problem and the data becomes accessible. But, if the utility is unable to repair the Employee database, then you need to use advanced Access Repair utility. These Access Database Repair utilities incorporate advanced scanning algorithms to systematically scan and repair your corrupted database. Built with highly graphical and interactive user interface, these utilities are self-explanatory without any former technical knowledge.
