Hi

Some how I changed a memo field to a text field losing
some of my data. As the database has not been compacted I
assume the lost data must still be there.

Is there a way of recovering this data?

I tried a program called accessfix and it found lots of
delete tables etc, but the data I wanted it said was
unrecoverable.

Thanks

Mike

Peter Miller is the guru for fixing corrupt databases:

"Our most popular rescue service is our Data Recovery Service.
Occasionally, databases can become corrupted. Usually the inbuilt Repair
capability will correct the problem, or its possible to create a new
database based upon the corrupted one. If you are unable to recover from a
database corruption problem, and either do not have, or don't think its
feasable to rely upon an older backup of the database, then our service is
just what you need. Data recovery services are provided for a fee ranging
from US$120 to US$1,200 (although the majority of jobs cost less than
US$600). Our success rate for complete data recovery exceeds 96%. If you
would like us to take a look at a damaged Access database for you, then

This is why backups are so important.
