    Question Microsoft Access cannot open form error "OrderDS'. It contains data Microsoft does not recognize.

    Good morning all, I started getting this error message on my access database. The database was fine on Friday and I'm not sure what microsoft access cannot recognize. Any help is greatly appreciated it.

    Unfortunately the form code or the data is probably corrupted.
    The its code corruption, you may be able to fix it by DECOMPILING...Decompile and Compact Your Microsoft Access Database to Improve Performance and Fix Corruption (fmsinc.com)
    If some of the data is corrupted, it will probably look like 'Chinese characters'. You will either need to delete the corrupted records (if you can) or recover from a recent backup.
