The records saved in the MS Access database form core component of Access database files (.mdb and .accdb). You can save your records in various MS Access database components like tables, forms, views, reports etc. Various factors responsible for the damage of records can be concurrent modification by two or more users on the same record, software bugs, network hardware failure and more. In such situations, you need to recover the damaged records by using latest data backup.
