#DELETED# in Access97

I finally got 6.5.1 installed (on a Sun box)and working and am now
using MS Access to link tables in a database..whenever
I insert a new record and save it, the entire row
turns into all the fields having #DELETED# in place of
the data I just entered. If I close the form and re-open
it, the data I just entered is there and all is fine...
what am I missing..??

TIA,
Daren
