Problem with forms

[Guest]

Greetings! We have a database that has 2 linked tables. One is directory
info and the other contains specific records on our students. We have two
related forms to add data to the tables. The directory form has a command
button on it to take the user to the details form. Yesterday, there were
some network problems all morning on campus, and after they were fixed, we
discovered the following problem... When trying to access a student's
information in the details form from the directory form... we are taken to
the form, but after the record appears, the database pops up a message that
the record is deleted. All fields then appear with only question marks or
pound signs.

I tried to look at the properties of the command button, including the code
(although my VBA experience is extremely limited)... and nothing appears out
of sorts!

What could be causing this? How to fix it?

Thanks!

FWIW... I also ran the repair utility first thing this morning, but that did
not help.

Where are the tables that you are linked to? You may have to drop them and
then relink them.

Hope that helps.
