I keep getting this error each time I try and open my gINT project. It was working a few weeks ago when I last used it. gINT is the current version. Is there any way to restore the "corrupted" project file?
Hello Grant,
This error seems to be related to Microsoft Access which indicates corrupted database. Try Repair and Compact Utility in gINT. All databases can get corrupted. If that happens within gINT, you can use this application to repair the file. Further, like most databases, the records are not actually deleted in the Microsoft ACCESS files that gINT uses. They are merely marked as deleted and will not be shown. This utility will remove the deleted records.
But if the corruption is severe, the file may not repair in which case you may have to either start over, or you may want to check a back up file from your network few days prior to the corruption. Also, when you create a project, try creating a project from a data template (.gdt) file.

Grant, if you have auto backups enabled, you should have to additional files in the same location as your .gpj file. each will have a file extension of .bak1 or .bak2. remove the .bak# extension and it will become a .gpj file. choose the most recent one, run repair/compact in utilities and it may take care of your issue. if you do not have backups enabled, you can try to open the file by changing the file extension to .mdb and open it in microsoft access. if it will open in access, you can run repair/compact in access and it MAY be able to be restored to a .gpj file, but I would recommend creating a new gINT .gpj file and importing the data from the .mdb file. Good luck! I hope you are able to save your data.
