But when x is 4, this gives me the error: run-time error 6 Overflow I don't understand why this is. I can set intID to 40000 directly without any problems, so it's obviously capable of storing large numbers. vb6 integer overflow share|improve this question edited May 5 '11 at 11:15 asked May 5 '11 at 9:58 Urbycoz 2,109124281 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 28 down vote accepted You *cannot set a vb6 integer to 40000 as they are signed 16 bit numbers so +32767 is the maximum. Long is the 32 bit type. However as a caveat, if you were to: Dim lngID As Long lngID = 4 * 10000 You would still get an overflow as literal numbers default to Integer, to correct that just type one as long with & or cast one as long using CLng(): Dim lngID As Long lngID = 4 * 10000& lngID = 4 * CLng(10000) Update: share|improve this answer edited May 5 '11 at 11:41 onedaywhen 34k85699 answered May 5 '11 at 10:05 Alex K. 107k16149195 But why don't I get an error with this: intID= 40000 –Urbycoz May 5 '11 at 10:10 2 In vb6, Dim intID as integer: intID = 40000 will error 100% of the time –Alex K. May 5 '11 at 10:14 1 Because 3 * 10000 fits in an integer (its < 32767), 4 * 10000 does not –Alex K. May 5 '11 at 10:21 @Urbycoz the great majority of your questions have been about VB.NET .

overflow-error? While working with large data, generally large numbers, overflow error raises. I'm going to explain about the overflow-error to you in this lesson with some http://www.vbtutes.com/2014/01/overflow-error.html tips and tricks for fixing it. When does the overflow-error occur? 1. Assigning large numbers The overflow error occurs when you're assigning a large number or a numeric expression to a variable of the data type having a smaller value range. Example: This example throws an overflow error. Dim var As Integer var =98768787 Run-time error 6 occurs in this example as the overflow error variable var is not able to store the value of this size. The range of an integer data type is from -32,768 through +32,767. So assigning any value beyond this range will cause an overflow-error. Take a Long variable instead of Integer to overcome this error. Solution: Here's the solution of the problem. This code does not throw any error. Dim var overflow error in As Long var = 98768787 2. Assigning large property values Overflow error results when you're assigning a larger property value than it can accept. Example: This throws an overflow error. Text1.MaxLength = 999999999999 The MaxLength property of the TextBox control sets the maximum number of characters that can be entered in the textbox. This property accepts only Long values. So you need to assign a value within the Long range to fix the problem. 3. Range of a datatype The overflow error occurs when you're using integer constant values in an expression but the result outgrows the maximum range of an Integer. Example: Overflow error occurs here. Dim myResult As Long myResult=878*8787 Both the numeric constants 878 and 8787 are within the range of Integer, but the multiplication result of them are larger than an Integer. So you first have to convert the whole expression or either of the numeric constants into Long as the following example does. In this context, you should learn about: Data type conversions Solution: Dim myResult As Long myResult=CLng(878*8787) Or, myResult=CLng(878) * 8787 Or, myResult=878*CLng(8787) Or, myResult=878 * 8787& 4.
