Rectifying “Error Signature…” Error Message in MS Access 2002
When a Microsoft Access database does not get mounted, an error message gets displayed at the startup. So, the data saved in Access database becomes inaccessible. The main cause for occurrence of the error message is corruption of MS Access database due to operating system failure, MS Office malfunctioning, virus infection and other such reasons. Under such situations, you need to use an up-to-date data backup for complete restoration of the lost data. In case, no backup is available or backup falls short to recover the required data, you need to use advanced Access Recovery applications.
Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter any of the below error messages when you attempt to mount Access database (named Finance):
“Microsoft Access has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience”
Or
“Error Signature
AppName: msaccess.exe
AppVer: 10.0.6501.0
ModName: msjet40.dll
ModVer: 4.0.8618.0
OffSet: 0008fcdf”
The above error messages also appear when you try to open a new database. Data saved in the Finance database becomes inaccessible after any of the above error messages appear. In addition, you encounter the same error messages each time you attempt to mount the database.
Cause:
Two main reasons for the occurrence of any of above error messages are:
- Redirecting the Application Data folder to a different folder on the computer system by using a Group Policy
- Access database corruption
Resolution:
To troubleshoot and resolve the above error messages, you need to follow these measures:
- Use the Application Data folder name in the folder redirection path for the Application Data folder.
- In case of Access database corruption, you need to use an inbuilt repair utility known as “Compact and Repair.”
However, if the inbuilt repair utility fails to repair the Finance database, then you need to use advanced access recovery applications. Such Access Database Repair tools use high end scanning methods to comprehensively recover and restore all Access database objects.
