Access If Error Then 0
an error message in Access A missing value can lead to confusion by returning error values. But a properly used Nz() function can turn an error message into an understandable and expected value.

For instance, a calculated control in a form or report has the potential to return #Error 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

Question: In Microsoft Access 2003/XP/2000/97, I tried using the Left function in ms access a query and I get the following error: "Compile error.in query expression" I've seen this function work in other Access databases. How come it does not work in mine? Answer: This error can be caused by multiple scenarios. Let's look at two of the most common causes. Option #1 This error can occur when there is a broken Reference in your Access database replace #error with and you've tried to use one of the built-in Access functions such as Left, Instr, Len, Year, Mid, etc. To correct the problem, you need to open your Access database. Press Alt+F11 to open the Microsoft Visual Basic window. When the Microsoft Visual Basic window appears, select References under the Tools menu. When the References window appears, check to see if there are any References checked that start with "MISSING:". If there are any, uncheck these References. Then click on the OK button. In this example, we want to uncheck the reference called "MISSING: Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library". If you, in fact, need this Reference, go back to the References window (Tools > References) and re-check the reference. Click on the OK button. Now your Access database should have fixed the broken references and the error message should disappear. In the event that there were no References that start with "MISSING:", uncheck one or more of the existing References. Make sure that you record the References that you are unchecking. Then click on the OK button. Then go back to the References window (Tools > Refe
Nulls in Criteria If you enter criteria under a field in a query, it returns only matching records. Nulls are excluded when you enter criteria. For example, say you have a table of company names and addresses. You want two queries: one that gives you the local companies, and the other that gives you all the rest. In the Criteria row under the City field of the first query, you type: "Springfield" and in the second query: Not "Springfield" Wrong! Neither query includes the records where City is Null. Solution Specify Is Null. For the second query above to meet your design goal of "all the rest", the criteria needs to be: Is Null Or Not "Springfield" Note: Data Definition Language (DDL) queries treat nulls differently. For example, the nulls are counted in this kind of query: ALTER TABLE Table1 ADD CONSTRAINT chk1 CHECK (99 < (SELECT Count(*) FROM Table2 WHERE Table2.State <> 'TX')); Error 2: Nulls in expressions Maths involving a Null usually results in Null. For example, newbies sometimes enter an expression such as this in the ControlSource property of a text box, to display the amount still payable: =[AmountDue] - [AmountPaid] The trouble is that if nothing has been paid, AmountPaid is Null, and so this text box displays nothing at all. Solution Use the Nz() function to specify a value for Null: = Nz([AmountDue], 0) - Nz([AmountPaid], 0) Error 3: Nulls in Foreign Keys While Access blocks nulls in primary keys, it permits nulls in foreign keys. In most cases, you should explicitly block this possibility to prevent orphaned records. For a typical Invoice table, the line items of the invoice are stored in an InvoiceDetail table, joined to the Invoice table by an InvoiceID. You create a relationship between Invoice.InvoiceID and InvoiceDetail.InvoiceID, with Referential Integrity enforced. It's not enough! Unless you set the Required property of the InvoiceID field to Yes in the InvoiceDetail table, Access permits Nulls. Most often this happens when a user begins adding line items to the subform without first creating the invoice itself in the main form. Since these records don't match any record in the main form, these orphaned records are never displayed again. The user is convinced your program lost them, though they are still there in the table. Solution Always set the Required property of foreign key fields to Yes in table design view, unless you expressly want Nulls in the foreign key. Error 4
