Guest, Sep 30, 2004 access 2007 overflow error #1 Advertisements Ken Snell [MVP] Guest Most likely it means that the size of a numeric value that is being imported overflow when running access query 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

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 is very easy to demonstrate: 1.

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 https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/209934-overflow to a Long Integer (32-bit) so it does not 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.
