Overflow Error In Access 2007
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 access overflow error query too much information in it? What can be down to fix this problem? access 2013 overflow error Guest, Sep 30, 2004 #1 Advertisements Ken Snell [MVP] Guest Most likely it means that the size of a overflow when running access query numeric value that is being imported into a table is *too large* or *too small* for the field type. For example, a field that is set for Integer can handle values between access divide by zero -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

in it? 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 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

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... Thank you!

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

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!

When ungrouped, the query returns >81,000 records. The query has been working fine until recently when the number of records more than doubled. Now I get an 'Overflow' message. If I take grouping off it works fine. I have looked on various sites for the causes of Overflow errors and have not seen any that address whether there is a point at which something gets too complex for Access to handle. Am I missing something? Any suggestions? ms-access-2007 overflow grouping share|improve this question asked Nov 27 '13 at 23:02 user3043774 11 1 What DataType is the field you are storing your answer in? –Sico Nov 27 '13 at 23:05 Also, please update your question to show the actual SQL that you are trying to use. For what it's worth I just ran a query that calculated the Avg() and StDev() on a million rows and Access didn't complain. –Gord Thompson Nov 28 '13 at 12:54 @Sico The source DataType is Number with field size Double. The query I am having trouble with is a calculated field called MAG which is derived from two columns with DataType = Number. The query in question is a subquery of the one that does the MAG calculation. –user3043774 Dec 2 '13 at 18:46 @GordThompson This is the SQL for the query SELECT Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.TIER, Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.MEASUREMENT, Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.[STAT TEST], Avg(Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.MAG) AS AvgOfMAG, StDev(Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.MAG) AS StDevOfMAG FROM Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP GROUP BY Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.TIER, Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.MEASUREMENT, Z1_LIST_AND_GROUP.[STAT TEST]; –user3043774 Dec 2 '13 at 18:47 We need to see the subquery. Do you want to update your question with all of the queries in question. It makes it easier for us to follow what's happening.
