The same thing happens when I'm just in the datasource file, except
the datasource DOES see the last record.

What type of file is the data source? By "in the data source" do you mean
"as seen when you click the View SOurce button in the Data Form dialog, or
something else, in which case can you tell us what? Version of Word may be
useful info. too.

Are you using the database toolbar to examine/modify data in a table that
has been inserted using a DATABASE field, or just an ordinary table? If the
former, can you press alt-F9 to reveal the DATABASE field and tell us what
the field code says?

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!
