This error indicates that Access cannot match an input value to the type mismatch in expression error in access 2010 data type it expects for the value. For example, if you give Access a text string type mismatch in expression access 2007 when it is expecting a number, you receive a data type mismatch error.

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
Type Mismatch In Expression Access Query
field's Default Value evaluates as the same data type 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 mismatch in expression access 2013 type the criteria "50" or "12/13/12", an error message is returned because Access interprets 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?

A - probably - easy question, although I have no experience with SQL. When I try this (among other variants) in Access, I get a 'type mismatch in expression': SELECT Route_Leg_Passagier.[RouteID], Route_Leg_Passagier.[LegID], Leg.[Startpunt], Leg.[Eindpunt] FROM Route_Leg_Passagier, Leg WHERE Route_Leg_Passagier.[LegID] = Leg.[LegID] AND Route_Leg_Passagier.[RouteID] = '1'; Here's the Access file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104521722/Vliegtuigmaatschappij%20-%20Database11.accdb I want to see Startpunt and Eindpunt from those Legs where the RouteID is 1. RouteID and LegID are stored in the entity Route_Leg_Passagier, but Startpunt and Eindpunt are in the entity Leg. I'm sorry if this isn't alright, I have no experience with this site. But feel free to criticise me, and thank you in advance! :) sql ms-access share|improve this question edited Apr 16 '13 at 13:17 sashkello 7,421124382 asked Apr 16 '13 at 13:13 user2286565 62 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote Isn't Route_Leg_Passagier.[RouteID] an integer value ?

Alas, it still doesn't work. That is, I replaced '1' with simply 1, and it gave the same error. –user2286565 Apr 16 '13 at 14:25 RouteID is text data type.
