All of a sudden one of the records in my Access database is in an Asian
language (the other 67 records are still in English). I'm assuming I must
have hit some combination of keys while typing quickly that caused it to
convert, but I can't figure out how to change it back to English. I tried
changing the "Keyboard Language" option in the Field properties, but that
doesn't do anything.
Thanks...

It could be that your db has been corrupted.

That strongly suggests that you have a corrupt record in your table... is
there a Memo field in the record?

Check the corruption suggestions at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm.

If you have a working backup, keep it safe. If you don't, make a backup now -
this situation can very easily get worse and it won't get better!

You may need to create a new database; import everything BUT this table;
import this table, design only. Then link to the damaged database and run an
Append query to append all but this record into the new table.
