I need to access the database
hello guys please what i need to do to access the database.
- Dec 27, 2022
Hi,
If the file extension of the db is "accdb" then the messages could come from a corruption of the file.
If the file extension is "mdb" then the messages could also mean that the database is secured with the old user level security method.

Reboot the machine. File > Account to make sure Access is at the latest version.
On a copy of the file, run File > Infor > Compact and Repair
If it still fails, try it on another computer.
If it still fails, go back to a backup. You may have some corruption.

Use the Import feature to import tables from the other database. That should give you at least the data, but not a working application.- safwenDec 26, 2022Copper Contributor
