Hello,
Today my database corrupted.
My table called TblProperty corrupted and reported a record that I was editing as ‘deleted’.
Sure enough when I check the record in the table the autonumber was blank and many cells just contained hashes.
I tried compact and repair, but no joy.
I had a backup from last night, so I had two options.
1. Restore the table from last nights backup and re-enter todays changes again (which is what i did)
Or
2. Delete the corrupted record and insert the record again from the back up table.
What is the best approach to this? Also how would I go about reinserting the record with the correct autonumber Id. Can I use an append query, and if so will it copy over the original autonumber ID from my back up table?
Alternatively, is there another approach?
Many thanks
Mark.
