Hi all.
Due to my work I have to use MS access 2007. I had a hard time learning it. Yesterday I seen BSOD all of a sudden. I reboot my PC and everything is OK at first glance. But then I decided to open access on my desktop and encountered this error "You cannot carry out this action at the present time" How could this be? I was working with this database right before I got BSOD. It is damaged right? I can do something to get it back?

Have you tried this magical thing called not being a dick?

OP: I don't have experience with this specific program, but if you didn't save the work you did, then you more than likely can't get it back.

Also, someone had already answered your question on another site.
Your BSOD may have corrupted your database. Do you get an error when you open MS Access or when you open your Database within MS Access? If it is the first you may try a repair install of MS Access. If it is the second try Compress and Repair. "Compress and Repair" is the "Did you reboot your PC" option of MS Access.

Most database engines do not like unexpected shutdowns.

Ms Access Compact and Repair ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

Also, you can find out what caused the BSOD by looking in your Dump file. You can look for the memory.dmp file in the C:\windows directory.

I highly recommend enabling minidump and learning how to view the dump. Take some time to google enabling minidump ( it is too much for this response ).

Enable Minidump ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

As often as not the dump file gives a very specific reason for the crash
