strange 'exotic' characters

[Luciano]

I have a table with about 4000 records and (very strange?) in some records
(ca 5 records of the 4000) some fields are filled with 'chinese' characters,
other (numeric) fields contain an astronomically large number. This causes
very big problems in my database. Can someone help me?

I already do this all the time, but this problem with the corrupted records
appears with all of my clients rather frequently. Is there no way to avoid
this problem?

Study the suggestions on Tony Toews' website:

The most common causes in my experience are having multiple users share the
same frontend (or single database) rather than splitting, and bad network
connections. I'd be very reluctant to recommend connecting to an Access
database over a wireless link, for example.
