Hello,

A long shot!
I have accidentally deleted some data from an MS Access Database table. My understanding is that when you delete data it is not actually deleted but flagged as deleted and isn't removed until the database is compacted. Therefore is there any way to restore this deleted data as I haven't carried out a compact.


Cheers,

Steve/ Make things as simple as possible — but no simpler.
 
As far as I know you can't get the records back, if you deleted a whole table you can under some circumstances

If the data is mission critical and you are willing to pay for it, I suggest you contact the guys at
AFAIK this is the only way you have of possibly getting your data.
