Which version do I have? More... This error indicates that Access cannot match an input value to the data type it expects type mismatch in expression error in access 2010 for the value. For example, if you give Access a text string when it is expecting a ms access type mismatch in expression error number, you receive a data type mismatch error. To troubleshoot this message, try the following: If you just changed the Default Value for a field

in a table and see a message about data type mismatch when you try to enter new records, open the table in Design view and make sure the expression you use for the field's Default Value evaluates as the same data type
Access Type Mismatch In Expression Query
as the field. For example, if the field has the Number data type, make sure you don't put quote marks around the Default Value expression (e.g., "1" would evaluate as text, not a number.) Verify that the criteria for a column matches the data type of the column's underlying field. If you specify text criteria for a numeric or date/time field, you'll get this error. As an example, if you type the criteria "50" or "12/13/12", an error message is returned because Access interprets what does type mismatch in expression mean in access values in quote marks as text, not numbers. So be sure to remove those quote marks. You'll know when you enter a valid date in the Criteria field because # signs will appear around the date, like #12/13/12#. Other situations that cause a data type conflict include: You're specifying criteria for a Lookup field, and the criteria use the values that are shown (like a name) in the lookup list instead of their associated foreign key values (like an ID). Because the foreign key values are the values actually stored in the underlying table, you should use them when you specify criteria for a field. You typed the dollar sign ($) in criteria you specified for a Currency field. Remove the dollar sign, and then view the results. You can tell if the numeric criteria you entered isn't a number if it has quote marks around it. When you type the $ sign, Access automatically encloses the string you type in quote marks. Verify that the data type of each pair of joined fields in the query is the same. If not, change the data type of one of the joined fields to match the data type of the other so you don't get the mismatch error. Share Was this information helpful? Yes No Great! Any other feedback?

It is very difficult to identify what is wrong without it. Are there any Criteria set? Are there any expression fields doing calculations? Are there any Groups?

I'm trying to run a query to include the Product Name but when I run it it only puts the Product Number. The Product Name column is there but it's always empty after running the query. Any ideas?

I know that's a bit ridiculous to do this instead of using a parameterized query, but I couldn't get a parameter query to work for some reason when I was building the function on a deadline and this was the quickest solution that I could come up with. Later my exit routine restores the queries original SQL. That isn't the problem though. The query runs fine, both before and after adding the WHERE clause, which I've confirmed by stepping through the sub and copying and pasting the constructed SQL statement into a new Access query. It runs just fine. The problem is with the report. It gives me the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error, this is true whether I run it before the sub adds the WHERE clause or after the WHERE has been added. This has been working correctly for weeks and then it suddenly blew up yesterday, threw the error and now the report simply won't print anything. It's not an issue with NULL values; it's not a datatype error. It's in the report, somehow. I thought there might be some corruption in the database, so have compacted it, and even imported all the objects of the database into a new clean database. But the error persists. Has anyone ever known the "data type mismatch" error to be in the report rather than the query? I have never posted before because I can usually find my answer by searching enough, but this time I a
