DAO Error 3049 Can't open database <name>.
 

DAO Error 3049 Can't open database <name>. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

 

· If the specified database is a Microsoft Jet database, it is corrupted. You should attempt to repair the database. If the database can't be repaired, restore the database from a backup copy, or create a new database.

 

Damaged databases are usually caused by power outages or network problems. To repair damaged databases run the "RTO Pro Compress and Repair Data" program. But first ALWAYS DO A BACKUP.

 
Any workarounds? Its just been updated!

Try Tools->Manage .EAP file -> Repairs .EAP file.
Maybe it helps.

Good luck.

If Oliver's suggestion doesn't work, you file IS trashed...

Happened to me... Fortunately, I had a Vista Restore Point that saved the file 2 minutes prior to the crash...

Keep Backups!

Just an idea that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Is it a JET 4 database, while you don't have EA set to use JET 4?  You do get an error much like this in that situation.
