Entering Data

[Erika York]

Hi,

I'm in the process of desgning and setting up a DB for my law firm. When I
attempt to change information I have in a particular field, it changes to
what looks like chinese characters. I can't retype over it, because when I
do and then tab to another field, the chinese comes back. Any ideas???

Corruption. Make a backup of the database first then run Compact and Repair.

If that doesn't work, Tony Toews has an excellent web page on database
corruption.

Allen Brown also has excellent info on corruption.

I have a white paper in a Word document named Fix Corrupt Access Database
