Really weird things happening to data

[Rock]

Hi,

I have XP and Access 2002 on a main box and on a laptop.

I have created a dbase on the main box and it seems okay all data in
seen in forms/sub forms and in tables however..

In the laptop one, the tables are all there with data but one of the
forms with a sub form is weird. The form shows the data okay but the
sub form shows hieroglyphics.

How can this happen ? I have copied it over a few times in case
something went wrong in the wireless network transfer but it is still
the same.

Thanks

Rock

The subform in question is corrupt. The easiest method to deal with it is to
delete the subform, and replace it with one from a backup or earlier
version. In the future, split the database per:

Additionally, wireless networks, unless totally stable, have a habit of
corrupting large files. Access databases are generally large files.
