При работе с MS Access просто неизбежно, что вы не можете столкнуться с ошибками. Фактически, иногда пользователи Access сталкивались с некоторыми ошибками при попытке доступа к своей базе данных. Наиболее часто встречающаяся ошибка — это «нераспознанный формат базы данных», который также называется ошибка 3343. Когда пользователи сталкиваются с такой ошибкой. Иногда они начинают искать мгновенное решение, чтобы исправить это Ошибка 3343 Нераспознанный формат базы данных в MS-Access. Итак, мы рассмотрели этот вопрос и написали безупречную статью.
Сегодня! Мы укажем причину возникновения такой ошибки и возможные причины ошибки. Более того, вы получите подробное и надежное решение для исправления этой среды выполнения 3343 MDB. Давайте начнем.
Причина 1: вероятность повреждения базы данных
Вероятно, ваша база данных повреждена. В Access повреждение базы данных является критическим, но управляемым. Происхождение повреждения базы данных можно проследить до той причины, по которой база данных MS-Access представляет собой один большой файл, и в большинстве случаев пользователи разделили его на два отдельных файла. Поскольку это один большой файл, поэтому, если в каком-либо разделе произойдет отказ, и это может быть связано с сбоем системы или отключением сети, вся база данных будет повреждена или, другими словами, повреждена.
Исправляем это
Причины повреждения базы данных можно отнести к разным туманным причинам. Однако нет причин для паники, поскольку вы можете легко восстановить данные, хранящиеся в базе данных Access, из резервной копии.
Использование встроенной утилиты восстановления
MS-Access имеет встроенный инструмент восстановления, который можно развернуть, выполнив следующие настройки:
Как только утилита сжимает базу данных, она начинает восстанавливать поврежденные таблицы, индексы, запросы, присутствующие в базе данных. Однако пользователи не могут использовать эту утилиту для восстановления таких объектов, как отчеты, формы и т. Д.
Примечание: Если пользователи не могут даже открыть базу данных, то у них нет возможности восстановить базу данных с помощью утилиты сжатия и восстановления базы данных. Однако они могут загрузить другой инструмент, известный как инструмент JETCOMP, который выполняет точно такую же роль в восстановлении поврежденной базы данных, не открывая файл базы данных.
Причина 2: открытие файла базы данных MS-Access в предыдущих версиях
Это происходит, когда пользователь пытается открыть базу данных, созданную с помощью Access 2010, в Access 2007. Причина Ошибка 3343 Нераспознанный формат базы данных может быть связано с тем, что ACC2010 использует новый метод индексации.
Как это исправить
Убедитесь, что выполнены следующие настройки:
Убедитесь, что неукоснительно соблюдаются общие -> устаревшие настройки. Причина в том, что Access 2007 не откроет базу данных с ‘Общий‘формат.
Пользователи должны преобразовать базу данных 2010 в формат файла базы данных Access 2007 с помощью Access 2010. После преобразования базы данных вы сможете открыть базу данных в более старой версии Access, такой как Access 2007.
Примечание: Всегда рекомендуется избегать такого рода несоответствий, потому что существует большая вероятность повреждения файла базы данных, если у пользователей есть две разные версии MS-Access, работающие с одним и тем же файлом базы данных.
Исправить ошибку 3343 Нераспознанный формат базы данных в MS Access мгновенно
После выполнения вышеуказанных исправлений, если в файле базы данных по-прежнему отображается ошибка, существует вероятность, что ошибка (Ошибка 3343 доступа к нераспознанному формату базы данных 2010, 2007) вызвано другой причиной. В таких случаях пользователи могут воспользоваться надежным решением, известным как Доступ к инструменту восстановления базы данных. Обеспечивает грамотное восстановление поврежденных баз MS-Access. Он поставляется с расширенными функциями, которые упрощают и упрощают процедуру восстановления поврежденной базы данных Access. Однако вы можете установить это программное обеспечение на любой компьютер с Windows. Он широко поддерживает все версии операционной системы Windows.
Заключительные слова
Выше мы упомянули профессионально используемое руководство и профессиональное решение для как исправить ошибку 3343 Нераспознанный формат базы данных в MS Access. Оба метода обсуждаются соответствующим образом, вам просто нужно использовать любой из них, если вам удобно.

Speed Up Tip #60
Replace Slow Hard Drive:
If you have an older and slow 5400 RPM hard drive, then it is recommended to replace it with a 7200 RPM one. You can go with a traditional SATA or SAS hard drive but SSDs are becoming less costly now. Depending on your needs, just make sure to get the highest RPM available.
