Overflow Error In Ms Access
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, Sep 30, 2004 #1 Advertisements Ken Snell [MVP] Guest Most likely it means that the size of a 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 -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

Thanks, Roger rconverse, Jan 8, 2008 #1 rconverse Thread Starter Joined: Sep 7, 2007 Messages: 191 Found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125900 I changed all of the numbers to http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/what-does-overflow-message-mean-in-microsoft-access.1640979/ doubles and still receive an overflow error. rconverse, Jan 8, 2008 #2 OBP Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 8, 2005 Messages: 19,078 Make sure that you haven't got any division by zero errors. Have you checked the actual value that causes the error?

Have you checked https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-access-error-overflow.669553/ 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! Roger rconverse, Jan 8, 2008 #4 This thread has been Locked and is not open to further replies.

As an example, open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), and enter: ? 200 * 200 It overflows, because the default data type in VBA is Integer (16-bit), which runs out at 32767. 40000 is too big, so we must convert one of the numbers to a Long Integer (32-bit) so it does not overflow: ? CLng(200) * 200 Use CDbl() to convert to a double, CCur() to convert to Currency, CVDate() overflow error in to convert to date. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

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.
