SYMPTOMS
When you open a database, you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
One or more damaged (corrupted) objects exist in the Microsoft Access database. For example, one or more forms are damaged.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this error message, follow these steps:
- Create a new Microsoft Access database.
- On the File menu, point to Get External Data, and then click Import. Import all database objects (tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules) into the new database.
- If you receive the "Unexpected error 35012" error message when you import a specific database object, repeat step 2, but exclude that object and restore the damaged object from a good backup.
