[AccessD] Lost records

I just confirmed a strange case where Access appears to have dropped
records. Accounting created a one table mdb with invoice data to give to the
auditors. It was copied onto a cd and given to them. The auditors couldn't
tie out the numbers. Using an unmatched query I compared the table on the
original with the table on the CD and found 700+ records on the original
database that didn't make it to the cd. The original table had no primary
key and no indexes as it was a straight port from an AS400 accounting
system. I have compacted and repaired to no avail. Normally if a mdb is
corrupted when copying you can tell but this copy functions perfectly.
Anybody have any idea what happened? Has anyone seen anything similar? We
are using Access 2000.
