Help - Possible corrupt EAP File - Urgent

[saiine]

Last night my computer was rebooted while I was in the middle of working on a EA file.

After I tried to open it back up this morning I am getting the error "An error has occured: Unrecognized database format"

This is 3 months of work, PLEASE tell me this is not lost just because of a reboot?!

If this is 3 months without backup then you have learned a lesson.

P.S. You might google for recovering mdb (MS Access).

There's an option when you open a blank EAP: Tools/Data Management/Manage .EAP Files/Repair

The folder is backed up to nightly back ups, but it's a bit of hassle retrieving those.

If this is 3 months without backup then you have learned a lesson.

Replying to my own post here, I was able to repair this with the EA repair tool.

Thanks!

Congratulations (for you, for Sparx and for Microsoft) ;-P

It's called transactional insecurity.

...but flies like a JET 3.5 upgradable to 4.0!!

Seriourly USERS: use DBMS, backup policy, baselines... although you never corrupted an ".mdb" file. You'll never know...
