In MS Access application, Visual Basic Editor or VBE acts as the development and editing environment for the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, to be used in the Access databases. The embedding of the VBA allows the crafting of the custom solutions using the event driven programming- MS Visual Basic and thus is a valuable tool for the users. The use of VBA is quite obvious but little problematic when gets corrupt, raising access database corruption vulnerabilities.
The indication of the VBA corruption may be through different error messages, when you attempt to use VBE in any Access database. Few such error messages are as:
“The module name 'module name' is misspelled or refers to a module that doesn't exist.
If the invalid module name is in a macro, an Action Failed dialog box will display the macro name and the macro's arguments after you click OK. Open the Macro window, and type the correct module name.”
Or
“The Visual Basic for Applications project in this database is corrupt.”
Attempting to close the database may also not be successful with the following error message and non-response of the application:
“This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.”
However clicking the details tab in this error message, yields you another message, stating invalid page fault in MSACCESS.EXE.
The VBA corruption is weird and all the saved data is at the stake of loss, demanding for the immediate cure in the form of access repair tools. The database is corrupt and if it retains the valuable information, then this is better to use the Access recovery mechanism through the valuable application, particularly called Access recovery software.
However, you can also attempt the exporting of all the objects, which use VBA and have got affected (like forms, reports, modules etc.) due to this corruption, to a new database. But this Access repair sure is not for sure as you may get more error messages, which may create obstacles in the way. So Access recovery software is the best remedy to get the data into action.
The best tool for repairing the corrupted Access database is Stellar Phoenix access recovery software which gains the inbuilt power to scan the affected database systematically and retrieve the valuable information. You can use this software with Access 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007 and repair and restore all the corrupted information, including that of forms, reports, modules and other Access objects completely.
