Access Recovery When Jet Prevents the Process Run By You

There isn't any large organization, that doesn't create and maintain huge databases for keeping records of customers, clients, employees, suppliers, and a lot more. To make this task easier, most of the companies use Microsoft Access database. But this application, like any others is prone to problems either in the environment, or in the way it is handled. Then it is highly likely that once in a while the database may get damaged, calling for Access repair. That is why, it is recommended that users keep a backup, failing which they may have to opt for other recovery measures.

Consider receiving following error message when you either update records, or run a query, report or form:

Jet has stopped the process because you and another user attempted to change the same data at the same time.

Reason: Such an error occurs when the Access database is corrupted or damaged.

Troubleshooting: Following three methods may be used to perform Access database recovery:

Method 1: In this method, we create a copy of each table of the damaged database, and then import the new table and the undamaged objects into a new database.

1.Recreate or simply paste the structure of the damaged table to a new table.
2.Open the damaged table along with the copy of the table structure, so both can be viewed at the same time.
3.Now, just switch to the damaged table, and in the 'View' menu, click 'Datasheet View', and select whole record by clicking those record selectors which are blank buttons available at the left side of each record. In the 'Edit' menu option, click 'Copy'. This will copy the records from the table of the damaged database.
4.Now, move to the new table. In this table, you will need to move the pointer to the location, at which the data is found to be in the same location as in the table of the damaged database. After this, click on 'Edit' menu, and click 'Paste'.
5.Ensure that you test the table after every copy-paste operation.
6.Repeat the above steps of copying, pasting and testing of the table using single records, or small chunks of records, till an error message is received during testing of corrupted records that remain. Re-type data that cannot be moved to the new table.
7.When all the records have been shifted into the new table, they can be imported in the new Access database along with the undamaged objects, and saved with a new name.
8.Now rename, or move the damaged database, and in case any .ldb file exists, the same should be deleted. After this, the newly created Access database, can be renamed to have the name of the damaged database.

Method 2: The above method Access recovery method, though long, should be able to help recover data. Otherwise, use the backup of your damaged database, provided it is updated. Otherwise, you will need to add a lot of data, and it may not be feasible to make the additions and deletions.

Method 3: If the above two methods are not suited, or do not solve your purpose, then you can opt for a third-party Microsoft access repair tool.

Corrupt Records in a Microsoft Access MDB

Microsoft Access is a database structure which is determined for such projects where large records are being maintained in tables. Tables help you to store information for reference, reporting and analysis. Moreover, Microsoft Access reduces the limitations having found while trying to sustain large amounts of information in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications and introduces errors which makes analysis, summing and reporting very challenging. At times, when records are being accessed, an error message pops out indicating corruption in records.

However, one or more records in a table may be corrupt. Scroll down the table until you find the record which causes the problem. Cut and paste those records into another table. If you can open the database then your solution is relatively simple else you need to get the records repaired using some access repair application.

Yet, before moving ahead you must try to find out where the problem was?

Causes:
It happens when field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add.

Resolution:
1.Scroll down the table to find the corrupt record.
2.Cut and paste those records into another table.
3.Locate damaged records via scrolling
4.Locate damaged records via append queries and code
5.Finishing up once you have got clean records in the new table
6.Manually insert missing record(s) from a backup.
7.Recreate the relationships of that table.

Note that there might be multiple corrupted records in a table.

Yet, you do not get clean records after following these steps then there might be file corruption chances then in that case you must use a third party application to repair access file.

Stellar Phoenix Access Database repair 4.0 tool implements new technology to offer comprehensive recovery of VBA code of reports and gives a complete preview of all recoverable database queries, relations and indexes in tree formats.

Repair database that has been placed in an unexpected state

MS Access database provides users with most flexible and simplest DBMS solutions which provides user "look and feel" integration with other Microsoft Office family products. Abundance of several wizards lessen the complexity of critical tasks that helps in quick updations in database file and fasten the processing speed. At times, we get errors while accessing our database. For example you developed a projects which contains a form and a table. As soon as you run the form you get the following error message:

"The database has been placed in an unexpected state"

This error message prevents the file being opened or Locked.

What to do in this case??

First try to resolve it using some predefined scenarios if still these scenarios do not help you out in getting out of this situation then you need to get your files repaired using some third party application to repair access or mdb files.

Cause:
When a user tries to import data form database but the file which he/she is trying to access got corrupt then this kind of error message pops out.

Resolution:
Database repair doesn't follow a typical scenario. There are, however, some virtually guaranteed ways to repair an ACCDB or MDB file. Before repair of file first attempt the following steps

1.If you have a copy of the DB in its original format, use the convert DB command to convert it.
2. If the original DB is no longer available, create a new DB and import your tables and queries to preserve your data."

Still if it doesn't work then you need to repair access files using a reliable and secured-driven access database repair tool to repair corrupt data.
