Chinese or Japanese symbols in Access

If you suffer from symbols appearing in your table(s) and it doesn’t go with a ‘Compact and Repair’ there is another method which has worked for me.

  • Create a new blank access database
  • Open your corrupt database
  • right mouse click on the table
  • choose ‘Export’
  • browse to your new database

That should get rid of the problem - for now…
