MS Access app displays chinese characters & crashes when editing VBA
I have an old application written in MS Access that has been working for years. Suddenly started to act weirdly. Shows chinese characters in a few controls on one specific form. Also abruptly shuts down when debugging the VBA code in that form. Happens with Windows 10 + Office 365 and Windows 10 + Office 2019 Pro. The computer is Lenovo,
Tried on a new ASUS computer, with Win10 + Access 2019 Pro, but has same failures. It works fine in Access 2013 + Windows 10 (Alienware). Also works under Access 2016 + Windows 7 (Alienware).
Screenshot attached.

Daniel,
I can't even count the number of hours I spent scouring the internet for the link you found. The problem was, indeed, related to decimal fields (5 of them). When I changed them to Single fields, the problems were all resolved.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
