The easiest way to fix damaged files is using specialized software.
There are plenty of companies that specialize in data recovery software and services.
Data recovery software has its own advantages over private services: it’s quicker, it’s easier and you can do it on your own computer and in your home so you won’t feel uncomfortable by having a stranger going through your files.
Almost every software company has demo versions of their products for you to try before buying. So don’t rush it and try a few products before choosing the one that fits your needs.
Here we have reviewed some products based on our professional experience. This way we can help you to choose the product that is ideal for you.
Advanced Access Repair by DataNumen: We were a little disappointed with this product. We had read very good reviews of this utility and although we were able to recover our database files the recovery process is very slow and the program's interface is complicated. It looks like this utility was designed almost exclusively for the advanced user and this is not always the case.
The product in general has very interesting features but it makes it a little expensive, maybe too expensive for the regular user.
This product has a demo available for free download in its homepage.
Kernel Access Recovery by Nucleus: We didn't get a very good impression of this product. The recovery process is very slow and its a little complicated to manage for the inexperienced user.
Another downside of this utility is that is doesn't recover all types of Access objects. We weren't able to repair some of our database's elements that were vital for its proper functionality. This turned out to be a big problem for us because the recovered database was unusable even after the repair process.
Kernel Access Recovery has a demo version available for download on their homepage.
AccessFIX by Cimaware Software: In our experience this is the most complete tool available. We have used it in a variety of cases with the highest rate of success.
One of the advantages of this particular program is that it recovers all types of Access objects including queries, forms, reports, macros and Visual Basic modules. This is a very important feature, as most programs have a lot of limitations in this subject.
AccessFIX is one of the few utilities that undeletes Access tables and records, saving the undeleted information in a separate table. It is also very fast, it has recovered our database files in less than 15 minutes.
AccessFIX works with all versions of Microsoft Access.
This program has a demo version available, so you can give it a try and see the recovered files before you buy the full version. It is not cheap (but neither are the rest) but worth the results.
