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.

Delete the record, and then compact the database:

If you cannot delete the record, this article describes various ways of
rebuilding the database:
