Microsoft is a leading software developer in this world that provides a wide range of products and services related to computing. Microsoft Office<\/span><\/strong><\/a> suite is one of the most popular software programs designed by Microsoft. It contains several desktop applications and Access is one of them. Microsoft Access is a database management system, and also known as a database management tool. The database management tools are commonly used in corporate sectors, businesses, and other private organizations where a large amount of data is stored and managed in a regular manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Database Management?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"database<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A database is a computer file that stores a large amount of data and information. The process of manipulation of stored data and information according to the requirements is called database management. Generally, database management involves storing, managing and organizing a large amount of data and information, and you can easily edit or modify it whenever required. Hence, for all these functions of database management, Microsoft Access is one of the best applications for database users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Access allows you to build tables<\/em>, queries<\/em>, forms<\/em>, reports<\/em>, macros<\/em> and VBA modules<\/em> covering both front-end (load\/entry) and back-end (reporting\/maintenance). If there are thousands of records in a database file, it may take enough time to search a single piece of information. But Access helps you obtain any information very quickly by just providing a few commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access Database Types<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Generally, MDB<\/strong> (.mdb) and ACCDB<\/strong> (.accdb) are two Access database types used by Microsoft Access program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"access<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. <\/b>MDB (.mdb) or Microsoft Access Database:<\/b> MDB is the old database file format used by older versions of Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access 2003 and earlier).<\/li>
  2. <\/b>ACCDB (.accdb) or Access Database:<\/b> ACCDB is the new database file format introduced in Microsoft Access 2007 and its later versions. Basically, it’s similar to MDB format, but it offers some additional features like storing file attachments. You can only view or edit an ACCDB file in Microsoft Access 2007 and its later versions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Access Database Corruption<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The fact says that no computer file is immune to corruption. And the database files are more likely to be corrupt than any other computer file. Thus, an Access database is highly prone to corruption due to various reasons. It may get corrupt at any time without any warning and leave you helpless if you don’t have the backup. You might be thinking about the reasons for Access database corruption now. Let me show you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #1 Virus Attack<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This is one of the most common reasons for data and file corruption. A virus can easily harm your computer data stored on any drive of the system. It can easily delete some part of the file or overwrite the file. In such case, the file becomes inaccessible or corrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #2 Improperly Cancellation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Suppose you are working on a database file in Microsoft Access. All of a sudden you close the program in an improper manner or it gets terminated unexpectedly due to system power failure, then the opened database file may become corrupted and lost forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #3 Unexpected System Shut Down <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    An unexpected system shutdown is another main reason for file corruption. A computer system should be properly terminated or shut down. If not, then it may damage or corrupt all the data saved on the system drives. It doesn’t affect any hardware device but can easily damage the stored content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #4 System Crash <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A system crash is a situation in which your computer or a program doesn’t work properly or stops working. It often gets existed after encountering errors. Due to system crash, a particular computer program may appear to be frozen or hang. A system crash may result in corruption, and sometimes you may lose your data forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #5 Hard Disk Failure <\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    There are two types of hard disk failure: physical and logical. And both are really very harmful to your computer data. Physical failure means the damage in the hardware parts of the drive and it could be either mechanical or electrical. Logical failure can damage the previously recorded information or make it inaccessible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    #6 Improper Data Synchronisation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Data synchronization is a process to synchronize a single set of data between two or more devices. It’s very helpful in establishing consistency among data from a source to target data storage and vice versa. But if you perform data synchronization process improperly, then the database file may get corrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Common Error Messages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    These are some of the most common reasons for Access database corruption. There are several error messages you can receive at the time of database corruption. Some of the most common error messages are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
