Corrupt Database

[UncleHuckleberry]

Hello,

I've got a corrupt access 2000 database, I've got a backup but its a few days old and I've lost numerous reports, forms and coding.

Does anybody have any techniques for salvaging aspects of corrupt access db's. I don't really want to spend the sort of money it takes to buy a specialist product to do this, and I noticed that some of these only recover tables and queries, which I have backups of anyway. Also the data is sensitive and i am unable to send it to a third party to recovery company so that is not an option.

There seems to be a lot of people who suffer from the corruption of an access databases but relatively little on how to recover them, further than compact / repair, and copy everything to a new db. When the db won't open these are not options.

I've looped through the tabledefs and document containers which lists everything in the db and am certain it must be possible to get most of the stuff back.

any ideas?
