Access 2010: Cut and Copy Options on Ribbon are Greyed Out for only one DB

$

I have a small (4,500 records), SINGLE table database with a backend and a frontend that are both displaying the same behavior. Users are complaining because they cannot click the Cut and Copy buttons on the MS Access 2010 ribbon. They are still able to use keyboard shortcuts as well as right click to cut and paste, but they insist on needing the buttons. They swear it was not this way before some unspecified time. The database is in Access 2000 format and a .MDB on both ends. Other databases in this same format with the same configuration are not having this problem! I have tried, converting both ends to the newest version, rebuilding the front end form, logging into the computer as a different user (it is Win7), repairing and compacting both ends, etc. The problem only seems to be occurring on two PCs at this time which would seem to point to a problem with either the application or the user profile, but I have ruled that out since other DBs aren't having the problem and I logged in as a different user on one of the PCs and the problem still occurred. This is strictly a data entry DB and is nothing fancy. The table is 29 columns wide, but I do not think that would be the problem since this fact has not changed recently. Could there be an invalid character in a field somewhere? How would I figure out where if that were the case? If anyone has any idea what could cause this, please help!

Thanks, Casee
