Detect Database corruption in Access

[rmatthew]

I have an application that uses an access database. It appears that sometimes Access gets corrupt (go figure - no news here). In any case - I need to detect the corruption. Any ideas?

I thought about doing a compact and repair and checking wheather it was successful or not - but I do not see a return value for the function??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

As far as detecting the corruption, there is no exact way to do this, you can trap it in your Try/Catch.

I havent tried compacting in .NET, but for sure if it is not successfull you will again trap it in the Try/Catch. ( Unless the method has its own exception handling in which case you would take that route in your Catch.)
