How to Solve Error 3000 While Using MS Access
There are number of software available in the market to handle databases but Microsoft Access is one of the mostly used database management system. It has its own data storage format and also allows you to export other data types and link them with MS Access. When working with MS Access, a problem that occurs most of the times is error 3000. Error 3000 occurs whenever MS Access comes across a corrupt database file. It is a runtime error. Runtime error means that the error occurs when software is processing some files. Once you get this error it will be impossible for you to do further processing with your database until you resolve it. The solution to this problem is very simple and is suggested by Microsoft technical support team. I will discuss it briefly in following steps.

When it occurs?
Error 3000 usually pops up when you are done with some database operations and now you are saving them in a row, column or a tree. At that time this error pops up and stops further processing. Another occurrence of this error pops up when you want to split a big database into smaller chunks or you want to make a copy of database.
