Resolving "Unexpected error 35012" Error Message in MS Access 2000

An MS Access database is build up with various database components like tables, forms, views, reports and more. These components save the data in the user-specified format and have different functionalities. Corruption of these database components primarily occurs due to MS Office malfunctioning, unexpected system shutdown, software bugs and more. Corruption in even a single database component can result in complete inaccessibility of database. In such situations, you need to restore the data from an updated backup. However, in case of absence of an updated backup, you need to opt for advanced Access Repair application.

As a practical case, when you attempt to mount the Accounts database, you encounter the below error message:
