Corruption. It's most likely caused by network problems as the BE is out on
the network. You need to get the network people to run a sniffer to look for
a NIC, router, hub, etc., that is causing bad packets or some sort of
interruptions. As for the NIC (Network Interface Card) it doesn't have to be
on a computer even using the database. Just spewing out bad packets is enough.
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
