Question

no one knows about ms access

Dec 26, 2016 8:52AM PST

One day my microsoft access database denied to open. I repeated the process, but no success. I use MS Access 16.0, I came to my friend who had previous version, but it didn't open again. Does someone know how to repair access file? Any solutions, because microsoft articles can't assist me.

There are now way too many spammers about Access repair.

Beware that most are ripoffs.

The consensus is that you keep a backup copy of your database. If you don't this will happen.

Unfortunately I don't have backup copy, is there any other ways?

Then try the programs google finds for REPAIR MS ACCESS. They aren't free and it isn't sure they work for your database.
Not having a backup copy is kind of a risk.
