[AccessD] Strange behavior

Access 2000 BE, with AXP mde FE.
There are six people using the database via the network.
After a record was entered and saved, the next user found the text was
in Chinese characters.
This has only occurred once.  
They will delete the record and reenter the data.
Just curious if anyone knows why this happened and if there is anything
to watch out for?
Thanks,
 
Jim
