is there a free undeleting program???

or does anyone have some tips on undelete

i have two small databases that I need to recover....


HELP
 
Be more specific:

1. Did you delete the file or some table information INSIDE the file?

2. Are you on some sort of corporate network where you may be able to get backups of your files from some past date?


Either way, the prognosis is "not good". Your best chance is to find the most recent backup and go with it.
 
In that case, good luck. Undelete programs mostly went the way of the dinosaur with the advent of the Recycle Bin. My only recommendation is that in the meantime, don't create new files or do much web browsing as these will fill your free HD space and theoretically overwrite your data.

You don't have much of a chance anyway.
 
Try PC Inspector File Recovery ... Not only is it free but it dose a wonderful job of recovering lost or deleted files...



*note* after running PC Inspector go to file : Find and type in *.mdb as a wildcard to locate the deleted database files instead of going through each recovered directory. This will save you a ton of time .....
