Hello,

it looks as there is something with your Access Database.

I would:

Export your repository to *.xmi
Create a new Database on your local drive
Import repository from *.xmi
Tools, DataManagement, Project Integrity check

May be ask your friend to send an export in *.xmi format to you. Sometimes it's a problem with JET4 (Tools, Options, General, Use JET4.)

I go with Helmut. Your repository is most likely corrupt. That happens every now and then with MS Access databases (and thus with EAP). Unless you are a MS wizard your only chances are backups or XMI exports from backups.

The other thing that can help is Tools | Data Management | Manage .EAP File | Repair/Compact .EAP File.

Hi Michael,

what was exactly the problem with the repair? It's no good idea to repair an open Repository.

In my opinion you have the following options:

Repair with EA
Repair with Access
Export if possible

If this don't work: I hope you have a backup.

Always keep in mind: *.eap files are easy to use but have some problems. In my personal opinion nothing for professional work.

Good luck,

Helmut

How can I repair with access

Hello,

open Access. I think the entry is database tools. I can't say which Access release is able to repair the EA *.eap database.

Don't worry about the extension eap. It's an Access DB.

Don't put too much hope in it. When an Access DB is damaged you can repair it in 0,01% with Access tools. A hacker digging in the guts might be able in some cases. It's like a damaged disk. You can only trust in backups.
