My name should say it all, but if you can't tell i'm very green at Access db. So any help is greatly appriciated.

I'm working at a new company and pulling data from a app they use to track tickets they create for projects. Well when i look at certain tables the fields only contain the characters displayed in the title. I know it is a link issue, but all the tables i look at have the same characters for the field i need.

I don't have a description of the tables for this app so i'm flying blind on how to find this data.

Can someone poiint me in a direction to look?

Thanks

Those characters look like binary data stored in say an *.mdw (as passwords, SSIDs, etc.) What type of file are you connecting to again? If it's not ACC you might try linking to all of the tables and sorting it out from there.
