Really weird #Delete error

As of late my large database that I have written has started to recieve errors. Before last week though, it worked nicely, and its only been in the last couple of days when everythings begun to go banana shaped.
A quick bit of info; the Database is split to front/back end format, and due to our company's situation some of us are using access2000 and some are using access97.

The problem is that I have a simple form that records data into a table for some persons personal data. This worked well, but now some of the fields for some people (only a few) have suddenly deleted themselves. The fields in question are two memo fields, and have been replaced by a #Error if the person views it in access97, or a #Deleted if viewed in access2000.
If a person using access97 clicks on the field to try and edit it, its says something along the lines of 'The action has been canceled as another user is trying to access the data you are trying to change'. It repeats this error no matter how many times you click on it.

However, if the person is using access2000, when they click on the #Deleted field, nothing happens. You can type anything in, but when you try to save the record, it says 'Record is Deleted'. If you're in the form, all fields go blank, if you're in the table, every single record just vanishes and you cant move off the record. (By this I mean you can move left and right in the record, moving up or down is just canceled and set back to the field you came from).

As you can see, this problem is quite serious, and Im quite stumped for solutions. If any of you guys out there have a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Unfortunately, the record/s are corrupted. The only thing to do is to delete the records and you will probably loose whatever data was there. You may not be able to delete the record until you run a compact and repair on the backend database.

This problem can happen if two people update the same record at the same time.
 
I followed the linked article, and it was perfect for my problem. My form now works great again! Thanks for the help.

Thanks Pat. I got something from this as well. I knew about what caused it, but your solution was right on.
