Records Marked as “Deleted” in MS Access Database

The records saved in the MS Access database form core component of
Access database files (.mdb and .accdb). You can save your records in
various MS Access database components like tables, forms, views,
reports etc. There are various factors that are responsible for the
damage of records such as concurrent modification by two or more users
on the same record, software bugs, network hardware failure and more.
In such situations, you need to recover the damaged records by using
latest data backup. However, if you have not maintained any backup,
you need to recover and restore the lost data by using Access Recovery
tools.

Consider a situation when you attempt to access the records saved in
the “XYZ” table, you find that some of the records have been marked as
“#Deleted.” This indicates that the Access database has been
corrupted. Few main reasons for the Access database corruption are
discussed as follows:

• Two users in multi-user environment were attempting to modify the
records of the same table.
• Improper shutdown of the Microsoft Jet connection due to power
outage.
• ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Data Access Objects (DAO)
• Faulty Network Hardware
• Malicious software like virus
• Large number of open and close operations in a sequence.

Resolution:

To resolve the above issue and access the database records in “XYZ”
table, you need to use an inbuilt repair utility known as Compact and
Repair. To use the utility, you need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the Tools menu, select Database Utilities and then click
Compact and Repair Database.
2. Locate and then click the database in the ‘Database to Compact
From’ dialog box, and then click Compact.
3. Select an appropriate folder location for the new file in the
‘Compact Database Into’ dialog box, type a unique name for the file
and then click on Save.

However, the above inbuilt utility can not be used to repair the
database greater than 2 GB in size. In such circumstances, you need to
repair and restore the Access database components by using advanced
and effective Access Repair tool. Such Access Database Repair
utilities employ influential scanning methods to provide absolute and
systematic database repair of all Access database components. With
interactive and user-friendly interface, these utilities can be easily
used to repair and restore corrupted Access databases without prior
technical knowledge.
