Access 2007 crashed, lost db. Does Access '07 save recovery db? If so what
is file extension?

 

[Gina Whipp]

Michael,

Short answer... No.

Long answer... Try:

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruption/retrievedata.htm Not all will
apply to Access 2007 but worth the read. And definitely try the create a
new database and import from bad one.

Thanks Gina, but the database is not to be found on my computer in any form.
The shortcut is there, but not the db. I have a copy that is a couple of
months old, so will be missing newer records. Is there any possibility that
someone could have stolen it? This is on a home computer with broadband
(always connected) running Avast anti-virus.

Michael,

I strongly doubt it could have been stolen. I run Avast along with a few
other programs. Sounds like it got deleted but I would also check the Virus
Chest in Avast and your Recycle Bin. I have never seen one go *poof* but
that doesn't mean it can't happen.

There is a bug in Access 2007 that can completely delete your database. It may
or may not apply in your case. Check out
http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html#Bugs

== Click on the What's broken link
== Scroll to the bottom of the table

You might look over the list to see if anything else applies to your situation.

Restoration - file undelete utility
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html

Use this IMMEDIATELY. The longer you wait the likelier your deleted
file will be un retrievable. Indeed, given a choice, download on
another PC and use a USB drive to execute the utility.
