Default Data Form Dialogue Box Counts Backwards

Sorry: This is the Macintosh Word Group. Redirecting to the correct
group...

I'm using XP Pro SP 2, Word 2002 SP 3.

I'm using the "Data Form" function from the Database Toolbar, something I've
used everyday for 4 years. There was a quick power outage in the office and
now when I have the dialogue box open and click on "Last Record", the records
run in DEscending order, plus the main document will not "see" the last
record. The same thing happens when I'm just in the datasource file, except
the datasource DOES see the last record.

Our files are arranged by month. April is the only one having the problem,
as this was the file open during the power outage.

I've restarted the computer, used the repair feature, tried to use a back-up
from the previous day but somehow that April file has also been affected.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
