A user has reported 'strange characters' appearing on a form. I looked at it
and the very last record has what looks like Chinese characters in several
controls. If I go to any other record, all looks ok. On the bad record, the
field which displays the primary key is blank. I looked at the table the form
is bound to and don't see anything amiss except one record where the primary
key is zero. The primary key is user set and not an autonumber. The database
always opens as read-only and will not display the linked table manager (its
grayed out). I cannot do a compact and repair. Any ideas on how to proceed
welcome.
