I am suddenly receiving the below error message when attempting to compact and repair my access databases. Clicking ok on the error message results in original .accdb file being deleted and an .mdb being saved out. When entering the database I'm not in read only so I'm confused on what is happening.
Microsoft Access can't delete accdb file path after compacting it. The compacted database has been named new mdb file path
When I have a database corruption that is not easily solved, I generally create a new, blank database, then import everything from the faulty db.
It's reasonably fast, and you can actually see and take note of which object fails to import. You can then import the problematic object(s) from your last backup.
Also: do all that stuff on a LOCAL drive, not a network drive. Network drives often are the culprit.

I have compact on close enabled but databases in my local GDrive folder do not complete the compact/repair operation (Office 365 64 bit).
The message is:
The compact and repair operation has been cancelled. You might not have adequate permissions to the folder that the database is located in. You need full permissions to the directory the database is located to compact and repair. Contact your system administrator for more information.
I notice that when this is displayed, Access has created a temporary database for the operation: Database.mdb.
When I look at the properties of this file, there is a security message:
This file came from another computer and could be blocked to protect this computer.
There is the usual "Unblock" checkbox.
I have this folder and subfolders added to the trust centre settings, but can't work out why this is happening. On my other PC, accessing the same files synchronised using the google drive app, I don't have the same problem.
The file is only ever opened by one person in one location at a time. It doesn't seem to be an ownership or machine-specific problem. If I create a new database in this folder, and enable compact on close, I get the same result.
I can copy the file(s) to another folder and compact/repair works fine. So, it's not a huge deal, but I'd like to know what's going on.
All help much appreciated.
I have a database file (that I have current backups of) fail to open with error 3022. All of the tables used are remote, SQL Server or access. My backup database file can open with no issues and we have no data lost. I tried to do a compact and repair on the file remotely using application.CompactRepair but that fails giving me error 31523. I tried using the command line and opening the file with the /compact switch, but that also failed.
Why would I be getting the 3022 error just opening the database file?
It seems that there was a network error while accessing the database file on a network share. That caused internal corruption in a way that I don't really understand, and can not repair with a compact and repair. The good news is, a query that specifies the database file as a source CAN access data from any tables said database has, the bad news is, if there are any objects like forms, reports, or code modules that you do not have a backup of, you are out of luck.
The moral of the story? Keep good backups and don't use local tables.
I have a very large sql database that I was trying to switch over to a different computer. When starting sql on that other computer I got the error of
"service did not respond in a timely fashion".
So I switched the database back to my original computer, got the same error, deleted the ibdata and ib log files and .frm files. Same error.
I assume it's not waiting long enough to read the tables but don't know how to correct this. I read the fixes about VIA protocol but this is not a networked drive, its just connected via usb.
My main concern is that my database will be lost. Please reassure me that if i have the ibd file that my database is still safe.
I'm thinking I should reimport my ibd file using this method.

Correct?
Edit. I was able to reimport my data using this method. Just had to remake my schema similar enough to the original.
I have a database in mdb format that will not open. When I try to open the file I get an error:
"The Microsoft Access database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change data at the same time"
I was the only user accessing the database and this occurred after a compact/repair.
Any ideas on how to get the db working again?
open the .ldb file with Notepad, its name is the same as your .mdb file and its located on the same folder, you'l see info about the person 'locking' this database.
TO bypass it all, just copy the .MDB and paste it in the same folder, the lockings are not copied with it, so you can continue working on the copy of the mdb regardless.
I have a database in MS Access 2007. I saved it in Access 2002-2003 database format, i.e., .mdb format. It was working fine. But today when I try to open it, it shows an error. The error is
Unrecognized database format 'F:\Project\bin\Debug\database.mdb'.
How can I open this file? I have no backup.
If you are using Windows Vista and up, you may have a system backup.
Right click the file and select Restore Previous Versions.
If this does not work, try Access Database Corruption Repair Guide
You could try creating a new empty MDB file and importing the objects from the old one. It might work at least for some of the objects.
