empty records?

Great thought--what makes it even more strange is that these specific databases (where we are seeing the empty records) are NOT manipulated directly by users.  In fact, of those database where users directly do add/update/delete, we are NOT seeing the empty records.  These are supporting databases, accessed only via lookups from other files (and never lookup r=free).
