Repair of a corrupt Microsoft Access ADP file

1. Open a brand new ADP file.
2. Enter the connection details when prompted.
3. File->Get External Data->Import
4. Select the corrupted ADP file
5. Select all Forms, Reports, Macros, Modules that you need. Click OK
6. If all goes well, you'll have a working ADP file again. If it doesn't go well, try being more selective with the imported data. You might have a badly corrupted Report that you'll have to skip.

This may give you some more ideas.

  3. Are you trying to open the ADP file directly from Access?
