What to do if Detect and Repair tool does not repair the corrupt Access Database file

While using the Detect and Repair tool to diagnose the Access database file, you cannot assure that the tool performs a successful Access Database repair. In case, you find it difficult to work with an existing Access database file after running the Detect and Repair tool then you are suggested to use the third party Access Database repair tool.
