Modules & VBA :: Is Deleted Data Recoverable
Jun 25, 2013
I had an inquiry from a semi paranoid client regarding retrieval of deleted data within an Access mdb. In Windows if you delete a file from the hard disk then most probably this file is only marked as deleted, but is not actually deleted until something is written over he space that the file occupied and is recoverable.
In an Access mdb file if we delete a record and do not perform any write action, is there any chance that the deleted record is only marked for deletion and can be recovered? Would compact make the deleted record non-recoverable? Is there any other way to make sure that when something is deleted that it is not recoverable?

Hi all,
I have deleted certain content from a table. After it I have compressed and repaired the database but later I found out that I need those deleted data. But now they are gone. Is there any possibility to recover it? Are there any tools or something?
Thank you very much for your help.

I have the following set up:A table in access for PurchaseOrders
-A table in access for ShipmentDetails, PK linked to PurchaseOrders OrderNumber
-A table in access for payments, an index linked to the PurchaseOrders OrderNumber
-An SQL database table of purchase order details from our existing system, linked to PurchaseOrders OrderNumber
Now, I create a new record in PurchaseOrders with OrderNumber="ABCD01". All good.I create a new record in ShipmentDetails with OrderRef= "ABCD01". Still good, creating a form and adding fields shows the data is linked correctly.
I now add the CreditorCode field from the linked SQL DB, it automatically shows like it should.I try to use the form to delete the "ABCD01" record from the PurchaseOrders table and it deletes the record FROM THE SQL DATABASE! It's basically acting like Enforce Referential Integrity is turned on with deletes. This backend DB is used by other programs. I don't ever want my app to modify it.

When I copy an entire record and paste it in a new record , I first get a duplicate issue with one of the columns(unique key constraint) and when I attempt to change the column value so as not to be duplicate ...I get a #deleted for the whole record.
This does not happen when I copy the unique column from a record and paste it then change (copying that column alone).
What could be the best explanation for this and how can I attempt this issue?

When I have a record that I copy and paste into a new record with one column having a unique constraint , I display message "Cannot insert duplicate code" then if not all values in the record are inserted , I get a #deleted in all columns
Refreshing , I find that the id is incremented by 2 instead of one.
That is if the previous record has ID 20 , the #deleted record has ID 22 .
How to avoid the #deleted which happens if not all columns are filled.

Am trying to import data into a blank database (MS access 2013). The import operation is successful. But the data in the tables gets deleted after a while. And all I can see are blank tables in Access 2013.

I'm new to form design and do not know any VBA (but that won't stop me from messing with the code when need be).
I'm creating a form that will serve as the user-interface for viewing, adding, and deleteing data.
The product I want is a form with 3 items: a subform that displays data in a table (so users can see all the data), a button that links to a second form for adding data, and a button that allows users to delete data.
I've gotten close to accomplishing this with the exception of the delete option. The hang-up is due to the fact that the subform that displays all the data is the output of a query (can't delete data through the query). A friend who used to work with Access years back was trying to solve this issue by writing code that would identify the primary key of the record selected in the subform/query and then adding code that would use this extracted primary key to delete the record in the original table.
This seems like a slightly convoluted approach. Any suggestions how I can get the product I'm looking for?
Thanks,
Phil

I have a database which is slowly evolving. Users needed a feature to delete some records without a trail and some with a trail from the form. So I added an apply action field in the subform using which they can delete a record without a trail and if they wanted to keep a trail they could do that too. When user selects "Delete Violations as it was entered in error" the system deletes the record completely which is what everyone wanted.
After six months of use now I am asked to add an audit trail. I managed to do that also. I also looked at Browne's method but my data structure does not match the requirements for that method. I used an alternate method. It works as intended except when a record is completely deleted using the code I mentioned above. Then it goes in the infinite loop. I somehow need to bypass the before update event so that the function to write the audit trail is not called.
I have attached the database ...

On a data entry form bound to a single table, there is a subform displaying all the records in the source table.If the user accidentally adds a record that they didn't mean to add (or if I add a record to test the form's functionality), and then right-click and delete the record, "#Deleted" appears in all the input controls.

I have a main form with several linked by ID worksheet sub-forms. I would like to add a on-click function to delete the main form and all related record on each sub-form. I have tried several methods but nothing is working correctly. The cascading delete function is not available as part of the form relationships. How I can accomplish this?

The BE of my db is located at my PC.
FE are then accessed by 3 of my staff on a shared folder.
To check how high the security of my dbase is, i opened the folder where the BE lies on one of the user's workstation and tried to delete it. Can't believe IT WAS DELETED!!! Why??? It should have been addressed by "User-Level Security Wizard", right???
I'm using Windows XP, Office 2003.

I enter records into MS Access and then when I close it and reopen it, every once in awhile records that I entered previously are deleted. I am new to Access so it may be a simple problem such as saving the database but it is extremely frusturating when I enter customers into a database and then reopen it to find out voila half the customers I entered are not there. If anyone can help me it would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Screen view of Database Diagram (http://64.122.37.190/images/diagram.jpg)
Screen view of problem view (http://64.122.37.190/images/viewshifts.jpg)
I am working with a Access Data Project and MSDE database server. In the image you can see the tables that I am working with. I have a table, tblShifts, that has all of the shifts with clock in and out times for all buildings. I am trying to downsize this list to include only buildings that the user is matched with in tblManagerBuildings by using SUSER_SNAME() to get there current username. Seems easy enough.
Only I can't get it to work. It does give you only shifts in the buildings that you are assigned to. But when you go to delete or insert wierd things happen. If I have the query set up as it is in the "Screen view of problem view" link I get an error "The field 'shiftnum' is read-only" when I try to insert or delete. So I tried another way. First I set up a view that gives you all of the buildings that you have access to.
View all of the user's buildings (http://64.122.37.190/images/viewMyBuildings.jpg)
Then I connect that to tblShifts and get all shifts in the user's buildings:
Shift table connected to user's buildings (http://64.122.37.190/images/viewShifts2.jpg)
If I output the BuildingNum column when you go to delete a record nothing happens. If I output the username column I get the "The field 'shiftnum' is read only" error. If I don't output any of the columns from viewMyBuildings then when I delete a row it Deletes the Building and the User from ALL of the tables. Including all of the shifts associated with the building. AWWW! I know that this is possible. My problem is probably with having a many - to - many relationship, but I have been working on the for a day and a half and I think I took care of the many to many relationship properly. If anyone has any input PLEASE HELP!

This has got me stumped.
We have a massive db and on one of the screens the users can scroll through the records and view information they can also add new records. When the users enter the new record and go back to it it has been successfully stored in the relevant table even on exitin the form via the exit button (DoCmd.Close). However from time to time when the user enters the new record and closes the for via the close form button the new entry is not stored in the table and seems to have been deleted or not appended to the table.
We have no idea why this is happening as it doesnt happen all the time just from time to time.
Can anyone help please or has anyone come across this before !
Thanks for any help !

Someone created a form and then deleted it. When we try to use the find button on other forms, it keeps looking for the deleted form. When I look in visual basic, I can still see the removed form listed, but it is not visible on the form page for me to delete. How do I get rid of this residue.
Thanks

Hi
I would like to prevent the first 24 rows in a table from being deleted by the user, after these 24 rows they can be deleted. Is there anyway of protecting them etc without putting them in a separate table?

Hi All,
This is my first post here and I imagine there will be many more as I have only just started out using Access to create a database at work and I am sure that I'm breaking many rules along the way.
Anyway, over the weekend, my boss tried to add some information (to the "Memo" field) in a form that I have created from a table, went to close the form and got a message saying something along the lines of "this record cannot be saved, if you close it, information will be deleted.
Now, in the Memo field, is the text "#Deleted" - when I try to overwrite this and come out of the record, it comes up with the message "record is deleted". If I put information in any other field in the record, there is no problem.
Also, in the table, if I try to sort by the Memo field, it comes up with same message, "record is deleted".
Does anyone know what I've done and how I can solve this?
With thanks in advance.
Ronnie

I have a table with a blank record at the begining and populated records thereafter. I used the cmd button wizard to create a delete button for that table. Is there a way to prevent the blank record (record 1) from being deleted by the command button but still allow all other records to be deleted?

Hi All,
Is there an easy way to show that a record has been deleted (besides "audit trail")?
for example:
if record_id 2 was deleted, the fields can show "deleted"
thx
