Tool to recover & repair a corrupted *.MDB database (Access) [closed]

Question

Over the years I have seen many errors on corrupted Access *.MDB files.
I do not use Access as frontend, just as backend to store data Tables.
I already use the best practices: normalization, close the database connection ASAP, etc.

I was wondering if somebody knew which the best commercial tool to recover data from a corrupted MDB file is. (I need a tool, not a service).

I have seen AccessFix, Access Recovery, Advanced Access Repair.
Have you used any of these tools? Any winner? Any recommendation? Any advice?

Thanks,
Jag

P.S. I know I shouldn’t be using an Access backend on a concurrent user & network environment, but there is nothing I can do right now.

Answer 1

Since I started professional Access development in 1996, I have only once had a corrupted MDB that required anything other than the built-in compact/repair tools. In that case, I used Peter Miller's PKSolutions. And in that one case, the corruption was my fault -- I killed the Access process while it was running a large update.

You can use stellar access database repair software which provides you free evaluation of software to check the reliability of software.
