I have made a query with to take the percent difference of two mileages and then if they are greater than 2.5% to put a 1 or if not a 0. I try and put a 1 in criteria in order to only see the ones that are changed by greater than 2.5% and I get the divide by zero error. Any ideas how to fix this problem.
Here is my IFF statement
diff: IIf((Abs(([Mile1]-[Mile2]))/[Mile1]>=0.025),1,0)
I have installed on my PC, WindowsXP sp.1, MSaccess versions 97 and XP.
After I have tested some databases, MSaccess 97 don't works successfully more, but XP version works good. I can't modify files mdb. Access works like in run-time mode: bars and commands reduced, standard icon of access absent, database window absent, ecc.
If macro autoexec or a form that play at the start of mdb are present, mdb works but it is impossibile to modify it. Otherwise mdb dont works, I can see access window with only menu files and window.
I have removed access and after yet installed it, but it don't work successfully.
maybe other application leaved files (or modification in file registry) that install procedure of access97 cant rewrite? And that dispose access 97 to work in run-time mode (or like)?
I am hopeless. Can You help me? Can you give me a list of files to remove, or list of modification to do in registry?

I have a qry I need for picking the info for sending a series of letters out. I finally got it to work and now Im wondering if there is a better more efficient way. The qry I call to generate my report calls on information from 10 other queries and 7 tables. Some of the other queries are needed for other sub-forms that rely on the data. Is this something I should change? or just be happy it works???

I am running a very simple query that divides profit over turnover to show the margin. I have many queries throughout my database that do this, here is my little formula;
Margin: Round(([profit]/[Turnover])*100,2)
Now, this runs just fine but if I put in a criteria of <10 I get the division by zero error. The reason I am confused is that there are no zeros or error values or even negative values in either of the profit or turnover columns?
Also I have an almost identical query in another database that has a <5 criteria in it and it works a peach.
I have searched but all I am getting is the usual definition of the division by zero error.

I'm trying to trouble-shoot an undocumented datbase built by someone else and running into a recurring problem. She has it set up where a macro runs several queries. When these macros are run, the queries cause "Division by Zero" errors which stops the macro in its tracks. The following is a query that causes this error, but by looking at this query, I see no place where a division takes place. I'm assumming that another porblem is occuring and Access just states that it's division by zero error when it's actually something else.
1) Has anyone seen a "Division by Zero" error when running a query when it's actually something else causing the problem?
2) Can anyone see from the query what could possibly cause this and give me a hint as to a good way to trouble-shoot these queries to possibly handle whatever problem is occurring.
Thanks,

I have a field in the a query with the following:
% OVER NB: 1-([Monthly MTA Table]!NB/[main inventory table]!PRICE)
I then format the column in properties to percent
When I try to put anything in the criteria I get an error "Division by zero"
I want to only the records that are greater then 80%
I have a query with the following calc. but it has an error of 'division by o' when I run it. Some of the figures may be null or 0 within the fields and I still want it to return a % figure result
I know its probably the iif function but am not sure how to use it in this instance.
Process %: Sum([Process volume]*[se]/[minutes worked])

I have a table named "Patients" with a field named "Code" and another field named "Patient" which contains the full name (LastName space FirstName) "Chaviatsos Nick" for example.
I want to make an other table from the table "Patients" with three fields:
1. A field named "Code"
2. A field named "LastName" which will contain the Last Name of the field "Patient" of the table 'Patients" and
3. A field named "FrstName" which will contain the Frst Name of the field "Patient" of the table 'Patients"
How Can I manage this?
Please help me with the round function. I want .5 to round to 1.
Here is an example of my data: (18+18+18+20)/4 = 18.5 rounds to 18. I want it to round to 19.
I used the following expression:
RoundACT Composite Score: Round((([Column1]+[Column2]+[Column3]+[Column4])/4),0)
Thank you.
Hi all
I've been using the following code to show Random records from an Access Database, the only problem with it is that every now and again it throws a "division by 0 error" any ideas how i can fix?
Code:strsql_videos = "select top 5 * from items ORDER BY RND(id)*(id*1000) MOD datePart('s', NOW()), id;"set rs_videos = server.createobject("ADODB.recordset")rs_videos.open strsql_videos, conn_videos, 3, 1, adCmdText
Iam hoping its possible with a few lines of code rather than some elaborate fix :P
So, I have some complicated calculations I am aliasing in my SQL query. My end goal would be to sort by my final calculation from all the other calculations I have performed but I am running in to some issues. I know I can't sort by referencing the alias itself without saying order by (column number). My calculations are usually pretty small (around .001 and up). Whenever I order by the column number I would like to use (select... from... where...order by 73) I get a "Division by zero" error in access. I figured this was an issue with how small the calculations were, so I multiplied by 1000000, then ordered by that column number. Still division by zero...I went ahead and changed all 0 values to 1, still division by zero. There are no zero values in the column itself, it's either 1 or something in the thousands. I can order by other columns, just not the one I want to use. I don't want to have to re-do my entire calculations in my order by clause.

from the beginning,
i've got a form that puts data into a table from a text box named txtcomments, the table allows 255 chars to be stored the comments are show later using a copy of the input form, all this works great. now i'm taking this data and inserting it into another table using sql inset in the vb editor so i can play with it and leave the original in tact everything works fine on my test machine but when i transfere the database to the server i am only permitted to enter 127 chars in the text box i've narrowed it down to the sql statement and know that where the error is occuring ive tried deleting things and reinstalling im just going round in circles and when i transfere the database back to the test machine everything works fine the test machine uses access 2003 but the server uses 2000 this is the only differance
any help would be god like

Been using simple access for a while now, and this problem is new on me...
Ive got two tables. One has data listed by OLD MATERIAL number (material) and the other has the new Material Number to convert to...
I wanted to simply add a column onto the table to show the new material number (just like a vlookup in excel)...
the odd thing is, i've done this loads of times before and tis worked... Anyone able to help?? :confused: :confused: :confused:
SELECT [2005 DATA].*, MatConversion.[WDB Material], MatConversion.[wdb name], MatConversion.Category, MatConversion.Conversion

My problem is I dont know how to use Access other then open a program. This is for a customer and they dont know how to do it either as someone else devoloped their database.
Basically it looks like the database is corrupt but I can not open it using a newer version of access because it has some permissions and I dont know how to go about making my access "look" like the other computer.
Any help is appreciated

Hi all,
I created a database for my company and it works very well but, I need it or something to track the way I pay comisions. Its a type of multi-level company and pay rates vary. Also, once someone hits the top level they now join in profit sharing. The profit sharing part is the tough part becase say person A is at the top he is a team leader and he gets money not only from his sales, but also from the people in his group below him. It must also be able to pay the correct person if someone quits, say Person D, the system knows that it all off person D's people under him go up to person C now. I hope this isnt to confussing, but im starting to confuss myself as im trying to set this up.
Is access able to keep track of an organization like this or should I try to use something else?
Thanks.

What I want to do, is have an unbound form, user enters data in to it, then clicks on a 'save' button which then writes the data to a new record within a table
I have got no idea what it is called so find it hard to do the search.
Im trying to make a simple database in access , so far all is going well but im stuck with the inventory.
I have "products" table with Id [autonum],name[text],price[money], provider[number], stock[number]
Providers table with Id[autonum] ,name [Text],tel[number],
Employes table with Id[autonum], name[text],tel [number]
and i have Sales table with Id[autonum],date[date],employer[number],product[number],quantity[number],total price[money]
I have relationships between table.provider and provider.name then sales.employer with employer.name and sales.product witht products.name.
Now what i want to do is that every time that i make a sale it modify my stock number on the products table. I think the proper way is just to calculate stock every time i need it but i dont know how to do that either :D
Ill upload my db but i have to tell you that is in spanish so if you haveany question im here to answer.Thanks a lot to all

1.) What is the File Extension associated with Microsoft Access database files?.........MAF or MAD
2.) A Field Name may contain a maximum of ________ characters.
3.) A ____________________ determines the kind of values that users can store in a field.
4.) A Field Description is required for all data fields......T/F
5.) Use of Field Descriptions dramatically increases the size of the database and, in general, should be avoided.....T/F
6.) FirstName, PhoneNumber, and ZipCode are fields which typically include an Input Mask.......T/F
7.) A Field Name is required, but a Field Caption is optional.....T/F
8.) A 5 digit Zip Code should use this Data Type......
9.) An INDEX speeds up updates, but may slow searches and sorting on a field.......T/F
10.) A Default Value is a value that is automatically entered in a field for new records......T/F
I have a field in my DB called "Category". Users are allowed to imput any text in that field. I have a particular problem in which the LIKE command isn't working as I think it should with the limited help files of Access explanation of use. The category field has multiple entries, for example - HEQ, PBH5, PBH4, SWA, SWA2, ALL - etc. I'm trying to pull the records from that field with specifics.... in other words I may need to get All the records that have "PBH5" in them. However, if if PBH5 isn't the FIRST entry in that field the LIKE criteria doesn't work. I have tried Like "PBH5*" LIke "PBH4* etc to no avail. Any ideas? It can't be that difficult, but I cannot find anything in any book I've purchased on it, or any of the knowledge base information at Microsoft.com.
(thank you so much for trying!) I received a DoCmd from another user, but all I get is an error message saying that it's invalid. HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!! I've been working on this for nearly 3 weeks and need a resolution! Thanks!
I have a calculated field Labeled [Hours/Month], simply enough, it is calculated by dividing one field [Hours] by the other field [Months].
The field calculates just fine as 0 or null values are not part of the data set. However, I am trying to write a query that parses this data where the calculation (Hours/Month) is greater than (750/36 or 20.83).
I would expect to just be able to plug ">750/36" into the criteria, but this gives an overflow error, as does ">20.83". I don't want to have to write this data set to a table before being able to add this simple criteria, why this is happening?
I have a variable cost that is a calculated field (as in the colum only exists in a query not as a colum in a table) that is variable hours * variable rate....the problem is ppl at my company sometimes dont know how the costs are goign to be broken down so they only put a Variable Cost....
and since they dont know the rate and hours my calculated field returns nothing...
how can i accomplish this, VBA might seem the way to go but i don't know how to use it for Access.....
so basically i need to calcualte the variable cost only if they enter something in var hours and var rate...other wise the var cost should just be what the users type ( so i i guess i have to make Var Costs a column in the table to give users the option of entering it)
