"garbage" record
I have had a problem with a record "turning into garbage"
so to speak. I have no idea what or how this happened, this DB is on a server, but one day the users couldn't access this specific record. The record now contains only fragments of the original record; most of it is "gibberish", what appears to be Chinese, or Japanese letters. Anyone ever have this happen before and what might be the cause?! THANKS! |

The symptoms indicate that the database is partially corrupted.
