Microsoft Access ACCDE and MDE Database Recovery Service

Do you only have the ACCDE or MDE database files but can't find the original ACCDB and MDB files that created them?

We provide a database recovery service to convert ACCDE and MDE databases to ACCDB and MDB files. Also, we rescue data and other objects from a corrupt Access database.

We need to perform an assessment of a few hours to see if a recovery is possible, and if so provide the cost for doing it. This service is only provided if you have ownership of the solution and intellectual property.

For more information, visit Microsoft Access Database Recovery Service.
