I have an Access 2016 file that I was working on in January and when I tried to open it the error came back that it was not recognized as a database file. I tried a few things including the use of Stellar to fix the file... but nothing worked. So I downloaded a Hex Editor to take a look, and the result is that every single byte in the whole file is a binary zero. No wonder it isn't recognized! But what happened? Does anyone know of a virus that would do this?

A friend asked if I had saved a copy before using Stellar. I had, and it is no different.

Thankfully I have a file from mid-November with 3 file changes and quite a bit of code changes. I know what the 3 file changes were. I will have to rewrite the code from scratch sigh...
