Trouble call from users:

Enter a name in search combo and a record from 3 years ago with a different 
name shows up.
Have a look at the table.  I have 30 records duplicating the Autonumber PK.  
She's gone back a bit over 3 years.  AN was at 17,000 and is now duplicating 
rows from 7474 after a corrupt record with AN 2759985.  Corrupt record has 
text with characters I've never seen before and several foreign keys showing 
7474 and one showing 1677749760 (normal range of values from 0 through 3).

Several of these duplicate records are subsequent to our last 
compact/repair.  Now I must fix the records and divide the child records 
between the proper parents.  Good thing there are lots of backups so I can 
match the related records to the original parents.  What a waste of time.
