The Access 7.0 database cannot be recovered after you call the CDaoWorkspace::RepairDatabase function or the or CdbDbEngine::RepairDatabase function

SYMPTOMS

If you call CDaoWorkspace::RepairDatabase() or CdbDbEngine::RepairDatabase on a corrupt Access 7.0 database, it may result in a database that is so corrupt that it cannot be recovered.

NOTE: This same behavior may occur in Microsoft Access 97 with databases That are converted from Microsoft Access 7.0. If this happens, you should either:

Create a new database in Microsoft Access 97 and import all the objects from a backup copy of the Microsoft Access 7.0 database. Use Jetcomp.exe, a stand-alone utility, to compact the database.

   /* Compile options needed: none
    */ 

   // The following code will repair the database C:\DB1.MDB
   // using the MFC DAO classes
    try
    {
        CDaoWorkspace::CompactDatabase( _T( "C:\\DB1.MDB" ),
            _T( "C:\\DB2.MDB" ) );
        CDaoWorkspace::RepairDatabase( _T( "C:\\DB2.MDB" ) );
    }
    catch( CDaoException* e )
    {
        AfxMessageBox( e->m_pErrorInfo->m_strDescription );
        e->Delete();
    }
