I created a database, and I have been changing alot on it lately. After completing all of the changes I saved the database, and attempted to Compact the Database, and I received an out of space warning on our intranet. Of course then Microsoft Access Died, and when I opened the database back up I receive an error tell me that the database it corrupt. And should I attempt to repair it. I tried the repair but it failed. Does anyone know of any programs that repair broken databases?

Jengo,
What was the error after the compact? What version of Access? There is an ODBC utility, look in "control panel" in Windows to repair an db file.
I've had success converting a corrupt database between different versions of Access and then converting back.
