Field suddenly changed to symbols now crashes db

[Scott]

I had a field in one record that suddenly changed into
boxes and characters indicitive of encryption. Now when I
change the field it immediately crashes the database.
Entire record is connected to several other related
tables. Would like to save it if I can.

It is likely to be corruptions in your database. See Tony Toews' article:
