Is your Microsoft Access database heading toward a corruption event? Answer 6 quick questions — no file upload, no signup — and get an instant graded score plus exactly what a web app fixes for each issue.
6 quick questions
No file upload — just pick what’s closest for your Access database.
1. How close is your .accdb/.mdb file to the ~2GB Access size limit?
2. How many people write to it at the same time?
3. Do you run Compact & Repair regularly, or has the file ever needed it after a crash?
4. Have you seen “Could not update; currently locked” or a stuck .laccdb lock file?
6. If it corrupted right now, how much work would you lose?

Common questions
- What is the Access Corruption Risk Scorecard?
- It's a free questionnaire that grades how likely your Microsoft Access database is to hit a corruption event. You answer 6 questions about file size, concurrent writers, Compact & Repair history, lock-file conflicts, network-share access, and backup frequency, then get an instant Low / Medium / High risk score with the fix for each flagged issue.
- Do I have to upload my Access file?
- No. It's a questionnaire only — there's no file upload, no parsing, and nothing is opened or executed, so there's zero security or macro risk. You just answer what's true of your setup.
- What actually causes Access database corruption?
- The most common causes: multiple people writing to the file at once (especially over a network share or synced folder like OneDrive/Dropbox), the file growing near the ~2GB size limit, interrupted writes from a dropped connection, and skipping regular Compact & Repair maintenance. A real multi-user database removes all of these by design.
