Error Message - "field Too Small"
Jun 12, 2006
i have a combo box on a main form.
The name is cboFormulaStatus and control source is FormulaStatus.
the control source is a Text field with 20 possible characters.
The Row Source seems simple with:
SELECT [tblFormulaStatus].[FormulaStatus] FROM tblFormulaStatus ORDER BY [tblFormulaStatus].[FormulaStatus];
I only have 3 possible answers in this field. for this purpose, pretend the answers are black, blue and red. my real answers are less than 12 char.
when i am in the form, i pick one answer. i get an error message:
"the field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. try inserting or pasting less data."
what am i doing wrong? Thanks

Hi,
i seem to be geting this message ( attached ) everytime i load the form for the first time. once i click ok, i can the enter data into the field and save as normal. if i load the form and got to a different field, it seems to be ok and the mesaage does not come back but it is definately there when i first click in the same field.
i have checked the form properties, field properties and code but i cannot see anything.
what usually causes this?
the text is the right size
the form is not in design view
i cant seem to find if the field is read only but after the box, i can enter data so that should remove any read only issues.
its vv frustrating.
regs,
Nigel

I have the following query, which runs perfectly:
SELECT
[qry_BMO_District_Recap - RHS - Stage 2].Transit,
Format([qry_BMO_District_Recap - RHS - Stage 2].month,"mmmm yyyy") AS MonthOfYear,

I get the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you are trying to add. try inserting or pasting less data." I'm not attempting to run an insert or update query.
Access Help lives up to expectations by just repeating the error message, and the posts I can find on the forum which mention this error all seem to include something about a maximum of 254 characters in a field. None of mine are anywhere near that amount.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I have a main form with project information and subform with financial information for each related project. Every time I try to add a new record, I get the error message "field cannot be updated". I click ok and it appears again, this continues three times after and then disappears when I click ok. After which I can add a new record. This happens on the query and the form.
Can someone help me through this one? Thanks

I have form "Project Log" for my table "Orders". One field "OrderTakenBy" ( text field) is a required field in the table.
In the field properities of OrderTakenBy in the Before Update event I have used the following code:
Private Sub OrderTakenBy_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String
Dim intStyle As Integer
If IsNull(Me!OrderTakenBy) Or Me!OrderTakenBy = "" Then
strMsg = "You must enter your name."
strTitle = "Field Required"
intStyle = vbOKOnly
MsgBox strMsg, intStyle, strTitle
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
When I first tested it, after trying to leave the field without making an entry-it worked great. Now it seems to have stopped working, I get no message when I leave the field empty.

I am learning how to create custom error messages.
I know about the "OnError" event of the form, and knows how to replace the standard error message.
I wish access will produce an error message saying something like "You must put a value in field X" (custom made msgbox)
How can I identify this 'field X' which caused the error message to be displayed?
Hope I made myself clear.
Thanks for your comments.

I keep getting the "Property Value is too large" when I add a description to a field in an existing table.
The same error was resolved on another table by cutting four fields then saving then pasting them back into the table and saving again.
I tried importing the entire DB into a new file, this I still get the error message "Property Value is too large" ...

I am trying to insert data into a table through a combo on a form. Originally, I had the text field size set at 15 characters, but the data I wanted to enter changed to 25 characters in length, so I changed the field size to 25. I then got the following message:
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."I increased the size, but still got the message. I even took the size right up to 100, but still got the message!

Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following:
1) Shows all records
2) Requery
3) ApplyFilter.
The Where Condition for the filter is:
Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
-Thanks, Sean

All,
I have inheirited a database which I am attempting to query via an SQL statement:
"SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY SheetNumber;"
This query works fine under Access but when executed thru ADO 2.5 / Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 from VB6 it reports the following error ("2147217833"):
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."
First things first, I'm not trying to add/insert/paste any data (see SQL statement above). Secondly, when I remove "ORDER BY SheetNumber" from the SQL statement the error does not occur. I need to retain the ability to sort and would be grateful for any help/suggestions.
For your reference SheetNumber is defined as a 20 char Text field in Access.
Thanks in advance,
Rob Black.

I currently have a drop down box with four options in there and the options are:
Low
Minimum
Medium
High
However when i change the options in the table to:
Low
Moderate
Significant
High
it comes up with the error message: the field is too small the accept the amount of data you attemtpted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
I do not understand what is wrong with the second option of words? The maximum for characters is set to 255 so i am not sure why it is coming up with that error message.

I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)

I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
Any ideas how to delete them?

I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name
FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
