At times like this, nothing beats a good backup. In fact make a complete backup of your database now and put it away for safe keeping. What you are experiencing certainly sounds like a corrupt database problem.
Tony Toews has an excellent web page on database corruption. http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm
Allen Brown also has excellent info on corruption. http://allenbrowne.com/ser-47.html
I have a white paper in a Word document named Fix Corrupt Access Database towards the bottom this page: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/OtherLibraries.asp -- Jerry Whittle Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.
