No matter how careful you are with your files, data corruption might still occur. Luckily, there are various software utilities out there that can help you out in this kind of situation. If we are talking about corrupt or damaged database files created in Microsoft Access, then one of the tools that might be of service is Cigati Access Database Recovery.

The application is easily installed, and, after a few seconds, you are greeted by a ribbon-based interface that might remind you of the looks of Microsoft Office apps. The ribbon menu includes options to open a database file, manage the analysis and save the results. The action log can be accessed from here as well.

You start by selecting the database file to recover. Both MDB and ACCDB files are supported, meaning Cigati Access Database Recovery is compatible with both Access 97 and Access 2000-2010. Moving further on, you must then choose the preferred recovery mode: standard or advanced. The first tries to recover data from a database file in case of minor corruption, while the second should be used in case the first mode does not show any relevant results.

There are a few additional options to take into consideration. Cigati Access Database Recovery can reveal system tables during the recovery process, if you want it to. Deleted files can be shown or hidden, you decide.

Cigati Access Database Recovery analyzes the input database file and displays a list of queries and tables within its main window. Using a tree-view, you can browse queries and tables in the database file that is selected for data recovery.

Cigati Access Database Recovery is a simple and easy to use recovery tool for Microsoft Access database files, allowing you to recover corrupt files with ease. It only takes a few clicks to select the database files, preview its contents and start the recovery process. The output is saved locally on your computer.
