Chuck -- Chuck, Jul 15, 2007 #2 Advertisements Allen Browne Guest An overflow error means the data ms access overflow error type that Access is using is not large enough to hold the result. To see an example, open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), and enter: ? 200 * 200 You get the overflow error, because the code window treats the value of 200 as an integer, but the result is to large for an integer (i.e. greater than 32767.) To solve the issue, typecast one of the values to a long: ? CLng(200) * 200 Now to track down what's causing this error. The overflow could be occuring with your data, or it could be within Access itself. If this report is based on a query, run the query itself? Does it generate an overflow? If so, identify the calculated fields, and typecast them. Details: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-45.html If the calculated query fields call a user-defined function, the function could be causing the overflow. Temporarily comment out any error handler in the function, so you can see what line generates the error. Also, from the code window choose Options on the Tools menu. On the General tab, make sure Error Trapping is set to: Break on Unhandled Errors so you can see the errors. Also uncheck Compile on Demand (which can corrupt the database.) If the query runs fine, does the report have any code in its module? If so, again comment out any error handler so you can see what is triggering the error. Next, identify the calculated controls on the report, e.g. those that have a Control Sou

"Overflow" error P: n/a https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/472271-overflow-error SheldonMopes I sometimes get a pop-up box that reads "Overflow" and the module that is executing pauses. It doesn't get caught by my error trapping, and it seems to be randow. https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-access-error-overflow.669553/ By random, I mean usually in the same section of code, but I can run the code a few times, then it appears. I can't reproduce it when I want to, and overflow error I have no idea what is causing it. Any ideas ? Thanks By the way the code is some record manipulation of 2 recordsets.

Open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), and overflow error message enter: ? 200 * 200 The default number type in Access is Integer, and the largest integer is 32767. Therefore this simple calculation fails with an Overflow error. The solution is to force one of the numbers to be a Long integer, e.g.: ? CLng(200) * 200 Your calculations may therefore need typecasting to a Long, Double, or Currency, using CLng(), CDbl(), or CCur(). Note that these types do not handle Null, so you usually need to use Nz() inside those expressions too, e.g.: CCur(Nz([Quantity],0)) * [PriceEach] More info: Calculated fields misinterpreted at: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-45.html -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Have you checked the actual value that causes the error?Click to expand... I couldn't tell if it was just one value or not. If I copy the sql to design view I just get the overflow error immediately. I then removed the calcs and the query would run. Then I started playing around to see if I could get the calculations to work. I changed all values in the original table to doubles and set the "group by" total to expression. I have it working for now, so I hope that will suffice. Thanks!
