Today morning i check with my system I got shock because my Access file (MIS.mdb) has been deleted. Although my system is connected over a LAN, i unshare my all drives ; then how it is possible to delete this file?. Also i used a software 'Recover My Files' , but no such access file found to restore. Can any body help me in this regard, I would really appreciate and thanks. Regards masipro

Files don't delete themselves. First thing to do would be stop using the computer because each time you write to the hard disk it has a higher likely hood of overwriting the deleted file. Now here is a link on recovering deleted files: http://lifehacker.com/393084/how-to-recove...h-free-software

If your haven't overwritten the original allocation for that file then there is a chance you can recover that file structure and have some recovery software build a fresh pointer. Obviously the probability of success decreases the more you wait and the more the disk drive is written to, this is merely a numbers game afterall, perhaps the next browser cache file will begin overwritting that valuable segment lol, I suggest you try some recovery software and quickly.
