ISAM Seek error 3709

[GDewez]

A couple of us were doing data entry when one of the record converted its characters to chinese one. When trying to delete this record,I got the error message that the key wasn't found in any record. And clicking the help this is what it said "The search key was not found in any record. (Error 3709)
This error occurs when an ISAM SEEK is being executed and there are no matching values in the index." I was only trying to delete.

A suggestion I found on Google was to remove the indexing of memo fields, but there aren't any.

Any suggestions?

i had this problem also. in my case the chracters appeared when i type something in text box of form 1 and then open form2 from form 1(command button). then i fill some text boxes in form2. on closing the form 2 and then form 1, i get an error message and sometimes whole form coverts to chinese.
i got over the problem by inserting a save command in my command button in form 1 that opens form2.
