Well whatever these symbols are. They are appearing in an
un-editable, un-deleteable record.
Does anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it?
They're UNICODE for special characters. This almost surely indicates
that your database is corrupt (at least this table is). If this is a
Memo field, I'd call it a certainty!
The first thing to try is Tools... Database Utilities... Compact and
Repair. I'm not hopeful that it will help but if it does, great. If
not...
Try creating a new database; use File... Get External Data... Import
to import this table, DESIGN MODE ONLY (no data); then import all the
other tables, forms, reports, etc.
Now use File... Get External Data... Link to link to the old database,
linking this table.
Create an Append query using criteria on the primary key field to
select all records EXCEPT this damaged record. Append the data into
your new table. Rebuild the damaged record manually (it's toast).
