Here's more information:
1. I'm using Access 2000.
2. I've searched the web and this forum, hoping to find a solution. It seems that when the database is closed, it's too late to recover the data.
If there is a magic solution, don't hesitate to share it (heck, I'm an optimist).
If the database has not been compacted, you can send it to a company that specalizes in recovery such as the company that sponsors this forum. If the db has been compacted, the table is gone for good.
