    I know that a lot of problems can be in MS Access. But my troubles is in .mdb file. It can't be opened from yesterday, and I don't see the reason of this. I'm on MS Access 2016.

    There must be some error message or something to know the problem.

      This is a very frequent question Ghazaala. Your best bet is to search in Bytes.com for help on this (Use site:bytes.com access corrupt database.), ignoring the first batch of results which are just adverts.

      Most of the points you'll find are :
      1. Make regular backups of the database so that you have one to revert to when the database is unrecoverable.
      2. Decompile and Compact/Repair the corrupted database.
      3. Create a new, blank, database and import all the objects across that you can.
      4. If none of the above have helped, and it's financially worth it to you, approach a third party to help. At this point it's also very important to review your backup policy of course, as it clearly hasn't protected you from this.
