I get the above error when I try to insert text data into my Access 'password' column.Does the error mean that the field is too small to accommodate the data I am trying to insert into it? In Design View, it says 'Field Size: 50'. I am not sure what 50 is? 50 characters?Can I make that field size whatever size I wish?
View RepliesI'm using Access 2003 to create some reports for an insurance company I work for by interrogating the Informix database of our policy maintenance software via an ODBC connection. The linked tables and the fields included within cannot be edited due to permission restrictions (the software is provided by a third party) but this doesn't usually cause issues.
However, I've recently created a Query that extracts a *number* field from one of our database tables, but I'm having trouble due to the 'Scale' attributed to this field in the Access table settings.
Access recognizes that the field is a 'Decimal' type, but attributes a 'scale' of '0' which causes an error. 'Scale' (for those who aren't aware) refers to the maximum number of digits that can appear to the right of a decimal separator, meaning whenever this value exceeds 0 (e.g. if an advisor enters something like 240.51 - a 'Scale' of '2'), the 'Scaling of decimal value resulted in truncation' error occurs.
As mentioned earlier, we don't have the ability to amend the Scale attributed to this value due to permission restrictions, although I'm told that 'Scale' is set in Access and not on the external database anyway.
how to bypass this issue? I can't reformat the field as Access attributes the Scale upon the initial linking of the table, long before the field is used in any queries. Permission restrictions also prevent me from amending the 'Scale' value in the linked table settings.
The software house themselves can't assist as they've set this value to hold multiple decimals on the actual database. It's as if Access only checks a small proportion of the fields held in the table (the first few hundred of this particular field are whole numbers) and attributes the scale based on this.
The following search operation have to search some operation in the database, but there is a bug and I don't know why..

View 4 Replies View Relatedlets say i have three fields in my table..
all currency fields..
jobprice..
jobcarpark..
jobtotalfare..
is there a way at table level.. to set jobtotalfare as jobprice + jobcarpark because at the moment i am simply ensuring that in all the forms.. if the price or carpark is updated.. so is the total fare..
it would be much easier to do this at table level..
I'm currently trying to calculate what each employees hourly rate of pay would be if everyone was given a 3 percent increase, using expressions but I cant seem to be able to work out how to get the correct calculation, as everytime a run the query it doesnt match up to what its supposed to be.
So in other words what I was wanting to ask was "how can I work out percentage calculations using Expressions, any help with this would be most grateful.:D
I've just successfully spitted a DB of 30+ MB of size to front end and back end.
However the size of front end is roughly the original one and the size of back end is some KBs. Shouldn't have been the exact opposite considering that data are stored to the back end?
I have a line of code that when it runs I get an error Overflow thats all it shows.
Why
Hi, just wondered if anyone could help me pls
Our record code has just recently gone through 32000 barrier and I'm noticing that when I try to send a file and refer to the record code that I am getting an "Overflow" error.
An example of the code I'm using is
Send_DealTrak_Proposal "Concept Car Credit", Forms!frmFinanceProposal.DealCode
When the DealCode is less than 32000 it works, when above I get "Overflow"
I am using Access 2003 linked to a mysql database

I am designing a query it has about 20,000 records with 2 numerical fields(long integer).
I want to do a simple division i.e field3:Round([field1]/[field2],2)
It works so i assume i have no zero divisors. When i sort field3 Access returns an Overflow message.
I've herd this may be because my computer doesn't have the memory to perform the calc. Is there any other reason?
Hi,
I have a question.
dim num as Long
num = 123000234123
the message is giving out "Overflow".
Do we have another datatype instead of the "Long"? I know the "Long" datatype cannot support all digits (123000234123).
Its range is 2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
Does anybody know how to solve?

if i do:

that work fine........ access don't seem to like: jour >=....... and jour <= ........
any idea?

I am working with a query and i am getting an overflow error. Anyone know what it means and how to get rid of it?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using a linked Excel sheet that has formulas linked to fields in Access. Some of my cells (formulas) don't have any information that is being auto populated, therefore empty; however, Access is reading the cells and giving an error message "Numeric Overflow".
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks for your help.
I'm making a query with a calculated field from three other fields, Order Qty, Case Pack, and Case Cube. Here is the formula for the calculated field:
NZ((([Purchase Order Detail]![Order Qty]/[Item Master]![Case Pack])*[Item Master]![Case Cube])/35.3147,0)
And here are the datatypes for the fields
Order Qty= Number, Double
Case Pack= Number, Decimal
Case Cube= Number, Decimal
I keep getting an overflow error. It seems like this should work, but obviously there is something I'm not seeing. Any one see a solution?
I am trying to run a query and it comes up with the error message "Overflow" - does anyone know what this means please ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an autonumber field set up as long integer. The field just reached the value of 32670 and I get the overflow message. I thought a long integer
could be much bigger than that before running into that problem.
I got around it by re-creating the field and starting from 1, but would rather
know why it's doing it so I don't have users without their system.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Guys, When I generate an excel sheet through vb.net code, I get a Numeric Field OVerflow when the values generated contain a date!
my database is ms access...
The problem is that each excel sheet generated has different columns, depending on what columns the user selects to view. for example: if the user chooses name, age and date, the date would appear on the 3rd column, if the user chooses name, nationality, age, family name, date, then the date would appear on the 5th column, etc.....
Does anyone know the way around this??
thanx!
I have linked One of My access Table with Excel. I am running the upend Access query to insert record from this table(Table that is linked with Excel table) into another access table. Whenever I run this query I get error "Numeric Value Overflow" nsg box. I checked the data types of all fields in excel and Access table and they are compitable. I am not getting any problem in Linked table. Problem occurs only when I run Append query. Plz help me on this. I wasted my 1 whole day on this problem.:o
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm running an Append Query from an Excel <linked> file to a table in access. From what I can tell, the first filed is overflowing with a linked filed numeric of 'Double'. You can't change linked table fields. However when I first link the Excel file, the Append works... :D only when I reboot the PC and start the next day's work, do I get this message... :eek:
1. Should I include in my MACRO an import to a table and then append...? :mad:
2. Is there a trick in the append query I can use to prevent the error...? :rolleyes:
Thanks

Hi there,
I am trying to perform an INSERT into a linked Oracle Table, using the following code:
INSERT INTO JTCS_OWNER_VISITS
SELECT *
FROM Visits;
Seems simple enough, there are 10,000 records in the visits table, but when i try to run this query i get an error message that simply says 'OverFlow' but no error code. This query worked earlier when i only tried to insert 1,800 records, can anyone tell me if there is a limit to the number of records i can insert. I have linked the oracle tables using ODBC drivers (SQORA32.dll) and this has worked fine against all of the other tables except this one...
Thanks

I've found one thread on this forum which appeared to cover the problem I'm having, but it was from a few years ago and stopped rather abruptly.
I have a combo box with five fields. The row source for the box is shown below and includes a value that I obtain from dividing one figure by another. All is well until I try to order the box's contents by this value, at which time I'm getting an 'Overflow' message.
The full query is as follows, with the problem area in itallics.
str_Source6 = "SELECT TOP " & li_Top & " FormatPercent((rogerreport.mntasts/rogerreport.allasts),2), " & _
"rogerreport.ria, " & _
"tbl_iainfo.IAFirstName, " & _
"tbl_iainfo.IALastname, " & _
"tbl_iainfo.NesbittBr " & _
"FROM rogerreport INNER JOIN tbl_iainfo " & _
"ON rogerreport.ria = tbl_iainfo.IACode " & _
"WHERE ([Period] >= #" & CDate(cbo_startdate) & "# " & _
"and [Period] <= #" & CDate(cbo_enddate) & "#) " & _
"ORDER BY (rogerreport.mntasts/rogerreport.allasts) DESC;"
[Forms]![Top50]![cbo_Mntasts-Allasts].RowSource = str_Source6
[Forms]![Top50]![cbo_Mntasts-Allasts].Requery
If anyone has any suggestions on what to alter to order the results correctly I would be very appreciative.
I am linking excel spreadsheets. I am using a spreadsheet as the source to update a database table. I am running an append query.
I have checked all the fields and it seems that they are correct.
It will run one time and then the second time it will produce this error.
If I change something in design view and run it prior to saving it - it will run.
As soon as I close the query and reopen it to run it - it errors.
I read somewhere about optimization and that it may be causing it.
There may be VBA or macro code to assist with this?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Bill

If I run a query based on that .txt file I get the Error.
...BUT sometimes if i close the database and compact it it works..
??????????????
Thank you for your help in advance...
I have been using a transferspreadsheet cmd for a while now in Access 2003, but when I recently split the database so that the table the import is going to is now linked rather than residing in the same mdb file, I get a numeric field overflow error. I manually made all the values in the import 0, converted it to text, but got the same error.
When I imported the table back into the file, rather than having it linked, the transfer worked fine.
Can you not run the transferspreadsheet command on a linked table or am I missing something?
