      The first error caused because a VBA file is not found and second occur means Microsoft access cannot open the database. To fix both error messages, use our product Stellar Repair for Access tool which repairs the MDB file.

    I’m using MS Access 2016 and try to access corrupted access file. Suddenly an error message occur:

    “Access Database Error 29081
    The database cannot be opened because the VBA project contained in it cannot be read. The database can be opened only if the VBA project is first deleted. Deleting the VBA project removes all code from modules, forms and reports. You should back up your database before attempting to open the database and delete the VBA project.

    To create a backup copy, click Cancel and then make a backup copy of your database. To open the database and delete the VBA project without creating a backup copy, click OK.”

    When I try to fix this error, one more error message appears MS Access database error 29072.
    How can I fix these errors and repair corrupted file?
