Reading data from mde database

Question

I have an mde file, and all I need is to get the data from the tables of this file in any format ... I tried everything I could find on the Internet, or by itself, but nothing helps. When I use standard tools for extracting data in access, it tells me that I have something working in this database (I think there is some kind of macro or something else that starts when I open this file).

If you have information on how to get data from this file, I will be so grateful!

Thanks again for your attention, and I am really sorry for my poor English (I do my best to learn it better).

Answer 1

There are a few tricks you can try:

• Press SHIFT when opening the file to disable autoExec macros.

• Just in case, if the file is damaged, try to compress and restore it (make a backup earlier!).
  You can use the /compact command line /compact to perform compact and recovery without first opening the file.

• You can create a new database and create related tables from another database.
  You will have the option of copying all the tables (you may need to rename .mde to .mdb so that you can see it in the dialog asking for the file for the link).
