Report output appears to be in Chinese

[Steve]

I have a query based on multiple tables/queries and when i set one of the
relationships to many-to-one, the report output appears to be chinese
characters. If I change the relationship, the output appears normal, but I
don't get all the records I'm looking for. Any suggestions?

Yes. Make a backup of your database right now and put it away in a safe
place. While you are at it, look for your most recent backup. You may need it.

You may have a corrupt database.

Tony Toews has an excellent web page on database corruption.

Allen Brown also has excellent info on corruption.

I have a white paper in a Word document named Fix Corrupt Access Database.
