AND "#DIV/0!" in my reports? when i pull up the report sometimes text values appear because of invalid values or calculations such as "#NUM!" AND "#DIV/0!". i don't want to confuse the user who is pulling up this report. i want to replace these text to my own personal text. is this possible. for example, if #NUM! appears i want it to have a value of 0. if anyone can help i would be greatful. thanks to all in advance. __________________ Microsoft Certified Professional gino View Public Profile Find More Posts by gino 06-06-2000, 11:19 AM #2 RpbertS Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2000 Posts: 93 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts this may help you Im not sure. In the format event of whatever header your getting that stuff in try this: If fieldname= "" Or IsNull(fieldname) Or IsEmpty(fieldname) then fieldname = "0" end if I think something along those lines may work if not just ignore me.

The first is fields that contain nulls and the second is division by zero. Whenever you perform a calculation and one of the fields involved is null, the answer is null and that turns into #NUM. Whenever you attempt to divide by zero, the result is #DIV/0 (or worse). To eliminate the nulls, use the Nz() function: Nz(YourField,0) will return the value of YourField or O if YourField is null. To eliminate the divide by zero error, you need to avoid the division operation when the divisor is zero or null: IIf(Nz(YourField,0) = 0, 0, FldA/YourField) __________________ Bridge Players Still Know All the Tricks The Following User Says Thank You to Pat Hartman For This Useful Post: Asoul(09-27-2012) Pat Hartman View Pub

Sometimes it's not always clear when a mistake has been made, which means I have to go back through a ms access div 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; 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.
