Help with a corrupt access database

[Lala52]

Hello!
I have a corrupt access database file in MS Access 2007 of 1 GB. The database contains important information and I want it back. I have a backup but of a month ago. I do not want to experiment, I want to find a good software to repair Access databases. I saw many options on Google and I do not want to be wrong in the election. I need to read some opinions about these tools.
Thanks in advance!

I assume you have tried but would still ask - is there any chance the database was saved on an NTFS disk with Shadow Copies/Previous Versions, i.e. can you right click it > Properties Previous Versions ?

Have you tried the built in repair function in Access?
Tools==>Database Utilities==> Compact and Repair

(try this on a copy, not the original)

I tried this option and there is not possible. Thank you anyway.

Hello, i just finished to try this options, i was to able to recover some elements, but not the most important. For this reason i need a powerful tool to recover all the lost elements.

Why is the database corrupt? Any chance that it is because of bad sectors within the file?

Sounding like one of those "Q&A" tag team spam posts...surely someone from "we-repair-database dot com" overseas places will chime in!

Now that I look back and see that the OP is a new member, I'd say that you are absolutely correct.

Are you stupid?

I honestly don't know what's the cause of it, perhaps it may be a possibility. Today we try to open the database with openoffice base, but it does not work. So, manual solutions have been exhausted.

Nor have you more thoroughly filled out your "intro" post even when questioned by a mod of this forum.
Hmmmm....

Also your user profile declares you to be an end user: "Which option best describes you?: Computer User (not a technician)"

Forum rule number 1 - no end users looking for support.

Did you run into any bad sectors when you got a full sector-by-sector clone of the drive holding the file? Please tell me that the original drive has been set aside to ensure that nothing more is being written to it.

We are working on a copy of the original base. And we have a backup from a month ago. The problem is to recover lost data from the last backup until last wednesday. Whatever, this forum has already put me in a bad mood.
Thank you anyway.

Normally folks on here don't help end users. Tomshardware.com has a forum where they do that though. This is geared for techs mostly. That said, I had a corrupt database one time and the built in repair worked for me luckily. I would suggest maybe looking into a dropbox account going forward, or some kind of backup with versioning that can keep multiple versions of the file in case this happens again, hopefully you can just pull the good one.
