Corrupt Access DB

  • Access 2003 database. Unable to open - error message "database engine could

    not find object MSysDb".

    Can not JetComp it; can not import tables into a new db; can not open in

    Access 2007; can not compact & repair.

    HELP!!

  • Unfortunately, it appears your best alternative is to go to a backup. That message is telling you that the system object where the VBA project as well as forms, reports and macros are stored is either corrupt or missing, and the general tools that are available won't be able to recover your full database. If you have data stored in that database, one of the commercial products that claim to fix things might be able to recover the data, but I would probably go to a data recovery service. Sorry to be such a pessimist, but there are numerous posts on all of the Access forums about this kind of error - see for example http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Msysdb-Missing-t1992861.html

  • The repair method attempts to recover only the tables, indexes and queries in the database. Do not attempt to repair damaged forms, reports, macros and modules. Before executing the Compact and Repair tool, please ensure the following condition:

    1. Do not open Access database must closed

    2. Sufficient storage space available - minimum double in size of your Access database on that Disk.

    3. Close the .mdb file related to .ldb file before you delete the .ldb file.

    4. Then Run the Compact and Repair tool

    5. Use professional software https://www.repairtoolbox.com/accessrepair.html Access Repair Toolbox

    Note that per their website, the software recommended by the poster does not recover forms, reports, macros or VBA modules.
