Repair Access database quickly to stop further damage

Microsoft Jet, the database engine that is used in Microsoft Access, is a file sharing database system. Microsoft Jet is often used in a multi-user environment. At that moment, multiple client processes are using file read, write, and locking operations on a shared database. As multiple client processes are reading and writing to the same database and because Jet does not use a transaction log (as do the advanced database systems, such as SQL Server), it is quite possible that your database succumbs to corruption.

When you try to run a query, a report, or a form, you may encounter errors. Errors occur when you update records. Along with, scrolling through data in a damaged database table also results in various errors. On these grounds, you may receive errors like:

‘Jet has stopped the process because you and another user attempted to change the same data at the same time.’

‘#Error’

‘Records can’t be read, no read permissions on MyDatabase.’ (Database name)
