Access Recovery Toolbox 1.0

Access Recovery Toolbox 1.0 is a an easy to use and effective program that is used to automatically recover Microsoft Access database files with the *.mdb and *.accdb extensions.

The program can recover: table structures (fields, indexes); table data stored directly in the database file; queries, except for those involved in forms and reports; correct relations, except for those created only to display information (relations between fields in the same table).

Working with the program consists of four steps:

• Select the source file
• View the structure of the data being recovered and table contents
• Select the file to save the recovered data to
• Recover data and view the recovery report.

The program has minimum settings. Actually, you need to specify only the source database file and the target file the recovered information will be saved to. The entire database recovery process is completely automatic. Note that the program does not modify any information in the source file, all operations are performed with the copy specified by the user.

The current version does not support the recovery of encrypted files because the structure of a file is hidden during encryption and it is impossible to read information. But the program recovers files for which a password was set, but which were not encrypted. However, passwords are not preserved.

Also, the program does not support the recovery of macros, reports, pages, modules, references to other databases and fields that refer to them, restrictions used to select values on a form and specific properties used by Access to display items in the editor window.

Major Features:

1. Reading data from the source database
   • System tables (their structure and data), tables created by the user, information about relations and queries, identifying all data that can be recovered and writing them to the computer memory.
     
   • While creating the new database, the program copies the structure of the source file as closely as possible and all uncorrupted data stored in it.
2. Analyzing the read data
   • While recovering the database from the information read from the source file, the program restores relations between tables, the structure of user tables (field names and types, indexes) and the structure of queries (used tables and table fields, conditions, relations between tables used in the query).
     
   • It also checks the integrity of tables and indexes, in case the integrity of indexes, the structures of table or query relations are corrupted, the program displays an error message (displayed in the log window).
3. Recovering information
   • Create a new database specified by the user. It creates tables, queries and relations in this database according to the information obtained as a result of the analysis. Data with errors is not copied. It copies records from the tables of the source database to the tables of the target database.
