Asian language use all of a sudden

E

eh147

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...

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

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.
