#error In Access Form
But a properly used Nz() function can turn an error message into an understandable and expected value. By Susan Harkins | in Microsoft Office, February 6, 2009, 2:14 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Missing values can confuse users if handled incorrectly. For instance, a calculated control in a form or report has the potential to return #Error access iserror function if a value is missing. That's going to leave your users scratching their heads and reaching for the phone to ask what's up. You can avoid their confusion (and your interruption) by using the Nz() function to force a value — usually 0. This function's syntax is simple: Nz(expression, replacementvalue) where expression is the field or value being evaluated and replacementvalue is the value or text you want to display, or pass, when there's no value. (You can learn more about Nz() in Help.) I've found that applying Nz() correctly can be a bit of a puzzle for some folks. The key is to wrap every field or value in an Nz() function, not the entire expression. For instance, the following expression has the potential to return #Error, despite the Nz() function: =Nz(Sum(Price * Quantity, 0)) The correct syntax follows: =Sum(Nz(Price, 0) * Nz(Quantity, 0)) Wrap each field within the expression to catch each missing value before the SUM() function tries to evaluate it. Of course, the best solution is to prevent missing values in the first place. To do so at the table level, set the field's Required property to Yes. However, doing so isn't always appropriate or practical. That's when the Nz() f

Sometimes it's not always clear when a mistake has been made, which means I have to go back through a bunch of queries to find where some div/0 error has taken place, since usually the errors occur silently. I'd like to be able to explicitly look for #Iserror so I can locate it when it occurs. e.g. SELECT sourcetable.fieldname INTO desttable IN '\\path\database.mdb'FROM sourcetable; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11565644/ms-access-handling-error ms-access share|improve this question edited Sep 20 '12 at 16:33 asked Jul 19 '12 at 16:52 IAmBatman 157217 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote accepted For division by zero, you should be trapping in a different way ( http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/avoiding-divide-by-zero-errors-in-access-HA001055073.aspx ) =IIf([Divisor]=0,Null,[Dividend]/[Divisor]) It is not unusual to use IsError with a reference to a subform: =IIf(IsError([Form].[Subform]![SummedControl]),0,[Form].[Subform]![SummedControl]) share|improve this answer edited Jul 19 '12 at 17:10 answered Jul 19 '12 at 17:04 Fionnuala 77.2k665110 Yes, I know I can do that; but there are times when different things result in the same #error and it'd be nice to trap that so I can go back and implement the code correctly. –IAmBatman Jul 19 '12 at 17:06 Not everything that is an error IsError. I will add an example that is. –Fionnuala Jul 19 '12 at 17:08 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

Syntax IsError ( expression ) The required expressionargument can be any #error in valid expression. Remarks Error values are created by converting real numbers to error values using the CVErr function. The IsError function is used to determine if a numeric expression represents an error. IsError returns True if the expression argument indicates an error; otherwise, it returns False. Example Note: Examples that follow demonstrate the access #error in use of this function in a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) module. For more information about working with VBA, select Developer Reference in the drop-down list next to Search and enter one or more terms in the search box. This example uses the IsError function to check if a numeric expression is an error value. The CVErr function is used to return an Error Variant from a user-defined function. Assume UserFunction is a user-defined function procedure that returns an error value; for example, a return value assigned with the statement UserFunction = CVErr(32767), where 32767 is a user-defined number.
