SYMPTOMS

When you open a database, you receive the following error message:

Unexpected error 35012

One or more damaged (corrupted) objects exist in the Microsoft Access database. For example, one or more forms are damaged.

To resolve this error message, follow these steps:

Create a new Microsoft Access database.
On the File menu, point to Get External Data, and then click Import. Import all database objects (tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules) into the new database.
If you receive the "Unexpected error 35012" error message when you import a specific database object, repeat step 2, excluding that object and restoring the damaged object from a good backup.
