I receive an error message and I don't know what to do about it.
IO have a delphi app using a MS Access 2010 database. I connect to it through BDE. It worked perfectly until today when the users told me that they can't enter my application due an error message:
When I tried to open the database for repair in Access it didn't recognize my password. And The message was:
"You or another user may have unexpectedly quit MSACCESS while a MS Access database was open.
Do you want MS Access to attempt to repair the database?"
And then again" Not a valid password" and then "The database xxx.mdb' can't be repaired or isn't a MS Access database file"

Jump to PostNEVER use MS Access for a production database. SQL Server is good, as are most other high-end DBMS servers such as Oracle, Informix, Postgres, MySQL, etc. Access databases are good for pre-production testing of your other code, but when you are ready, use a real database.
