Module Corruption in MS Access database

Researcher
Modules in Microsoft Access are the storage components that store all the code required to perform different functions in your database. These Modules are primarily created by the programmers for making their routine tasks re-usable. In most cases, these MS Access modules are associated with reports and forms. Although compiling the code saved in Modules is a trouble-free task, corruption in database might occur when you attempt to edit the code while the Module is running. In such situations, the data stored in the database becomes inaccessible. To surmount the dangers created due to Access database corruption, a standard way is to restore the data from an updated backup. However, if the backup is corrupted or backup falls short to restore the required data, then you will need to use an advanced Access Database Recovery software to repair the corrupted database.

For example, you created a module and while compiling (in break mode) it, you changed its code. The compilation process halts and you encounter an error message. The error message indicates MS Access database corruption.

Cause:

The error message occurs because the MS Access gets confused between the below categories of your code:

Text-version of the code
Text-version of the temporary copy
Actual version of the code that is running

Note: Please avoid changing the Module code while it is running.

Resolution:

To resolve MS Access database corruption, compact and repair your database using below steps:

Choose “Database Utilities” on the Tools menu. Click on Compact and Repair Database option.
Choose the database file in the ‘Database to Compact From’ dialog box that you want to repair. Click on Compact.
Select a new folder destination for the new file in the ‘Compact Database Into’ dialog box.
Assign a unique, valid, and new name for the database file. Finally, click on Save.

The above steps repair your database in most situations. However, if database corruption persists and you are not able to access the database records, then you will need to search for powerful Access Repair application. These Access Recovery tools are competent enough to resolve corruption and provide accessibility to all your Access database objects.
