Hi,
I have been handed a database that is split with Front and back end mdb.
Unfortunately, the owner is no longer contactable and now the mdb tables cannot be opened. Not too worried about the front end mdb just the back end.
I have joined the workgroup mdw and as a full admin account - cannot open the files.
I get various messages about index not existing, you do not have permission to import, link or copy tables.
If I try to compact, message states that I do not have permissions.
Repair is unsuccessful - "operation invalid without current index".
I have tried to change the owner to my group - current owner is showing as 'unknown'.
Each table does not even have read, design or any permission whatsoever.
Cannot import to new database which would be ideal.
Any suggestions welcomed. I don't have the funds to pay for some expensive recovery process.
Thanks in advance.
