Hi people! I am a little off topic here so apologies in advance, but 
this list seems to be the only place I can find people who understand 
the inside of an mdb file.
My problem:
I have a client who is running an application with data in a couple of 
mdb files. A great many patient result records have inadvertently been 
deleted (due to a cascade delete setting in the relationship between 
tables I think). Is there a way for me to use mdb tools (or anything 
else you know of) to undelete records?
I think I remember someone here saying that records are not actually 
deleted, but only marked as such. If that is so, is this reversible? Can 
I just somehow unmark them or are there other complications? I am 
willing to export them all to text and find some other way to import 
them back in again if there are index issues or other such side effect 
from a delete. Perhaps I could export all deleted records in a given 
table to a text file and fix them there?
Any help greatly appreciated because they don't have a backup! 
(Complicated and sad, sad story.)
