Fix database if access was closed while database was still open?

Computer says database was damaged because access program was closed when the
database was still open...We need a way to access or read database if the
database file was damaged and the computer cannot repair it... is there
another way to open the access file?

Hi Joseph,
Well I cannot be completely sure because the database is on a network but
this particular database was protected by a password, so I do not think it
likely. However we got further messages after trying to let the computer fix
the problem (unsuccessfully) that the password was not valid, so we logged in
as an administrator and took the password off and then were able to
temporarily get back into the database and make copies of it to a new
database and so ended up getting the data back as far as we can tell. I
think we solved the bigger problem but still wonder what could have happened
in the first place.
Thanks for your help!
Deb
