reserved error (-1517)

[Jason]

I have an access database on our network. It is used by
10+ users. Today users were calling me saying they could
not add a new record using the form I built. I looked at
the table on their computer and the data was appearing as
weird characters. I went back to my computer and looked
at the tables and I had no problems, the data was there,
no error messages.

Does any one know what is going on here or had this
happen to them?

Again, it's easy to search Google for an error number. Search all
Access groups for Error 1517 and this is what you get ...
