[RESOLVED] How to recover a corrupt mdb
Hi
Very annoyed at the moment. I should have backed it up this morning and didn't. Now its corrupt.
Not only is it corrupt its so corrupt it won't let me in to copy the code.
Compact and repair helpfully tells me that its corrupt and I should copy it and use compact and repair.
:/
Any ideas of how to get in?
Or just head down and re-code?

did you try to repair a copy? maybe corruption on disk
no earlier backups?
you could try a hex editor to see if you can find the vba code in the file

Hi,
Had to re-write the code - see post in API forum :D

100mb data... hex editor is a good idea.
No previous copies with the updated code, last one was around two days before. So at least that gave me a starting point! :)
Thanks for the suggestion.
Hints for others : remember to back up after doing anything with APIs before you run it! :D

especially subclassing
also on faster machines ctrl break may not work in endless loops, this crashes my excel too often
