Microsoft Access 2003 Overflow Error
Contents |
I continuously get an overflow message in access when i am trying to download a report in my database. Does this mean that the database has too much information in it? What can be down to fix this problem? Guest, access 2013 overflow error Sep 30, 2004 #1 Advertisements Ken Snell [MVP] Guest Most likely it means that the size access 2007 overflow error of a numeric value that is being imported into a table is *too large* or *too small* for the field type. For example, a
Ms Access Divide By Zero
field that is set for Integer can handle values between -32,768 and 32,767. If you try to put the number 1,000,0000 into this field, the "overflow" message error will occur. -- Ken Snell

What can be down to fix this problem? Ken Snell [MVP], Sep 30, 2004 #2 Advertisements Allen Browne Guest An "overflow" occurs when a field is not big enough to accept the data. When you perform an import, Access looks at ms access iferror the first few rows of each column, and tries to determine whether it is Text, Date, Number, etc. If later columns prove to have wildly different values, its original decision about the type and size required may prove inadequate - particularly for Number fields. There are several workarounds, depending on where the data is coming from. If you are importing a Text file, you can click the Advanced button once you are in the Import Wizard, and you can define the data types of the fields you want to use. You can then save this Import Specification, and tell Access to use it again next time you perform a TransferText. If you are importing from Excel, see: "Numeric Field Overflow" error message occurs when you query a table that is linked to Excel spreadsheet at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815277&Product=acc or Import, export, and link data between Access and Excel at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/assistance/HP010950951033.aspx?Product=acc The overflow is very easy to demonstrate: 1. Open the Immediate window by pressing Ctrl+G. 2. Enter: ? 200 * 200 You receive an overflow, because Access treats these numbers as type Integer. When you multiply them, the result is bigger than 32767 (the largest integer), and so the integer type overflows. You can avoid this problem by forcing Access to treat at least one of the numbers as a Long Integer: ? CLng(200) * 200 -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

Have you checked the actual https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-access-error-overflow.669553/ value that causes the error?

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!

The result I'm shooting for is that if [Production] is zero, indicate zero, otherwise compute the percent of collection. ([PP] is the amount collected and is a negative number in the table). Pretty stumped here...

The table doesn't have any null values so if there are no monies yet collected, it would be zero.
