[AccessD] VERY strange LDB issue

Any chance that the report writer guy has his machines set up for a
non-European region?

Subject: [AccessD] VERY strange LDB issue

Ok folks, here’s a doozy for ya’ll.  Our IT report writer is having some
issues with a few .mdbs.  In troubleshooting the issue, we have discovered
that whenever he is the first person in a database, the .ldb file comes out
with gobbly gook.  If someone else is in the database already, the .ldb file
will be fine, and his machine and access user name will be put at the end
like it should be.

 

Now, this happens from two different machines that he is logged into (his
desktop and laptop) and over EITHER the wired or wireless connection.

 

Here is an example of what it will show:

 

偍呅䥔塔P†††††††††††摁業n†††††††††††††

 

That is the contents of an .ldb file that he is the first one into the .mdb
for.

 

Any ideas?
