MS Access Forum / Modules / DAO / VBA / March 2008#NUM! in linked excel workbook
I'm getting all kinds of nonsense in this linked workbook. Text fields are showing 0's for several rows, and #NUM! where there should be text. Other text fields are showing text for several rows and #NUM! where there are 0's in the linked excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet I'm linking to from Access, is itself a collection of pasted links from another worksheet, which was copied from a sharepoint directory. I can't link directly to the sharepoint file from Access2003.  SignatureBill Reed "If you can't laugh at yourself, laugh at somebody else" One of the bizarre things that's happening is there is a field, [Impact Description], that has several text entries in it that I can easily read in my query. But if there is nothing in the field I get a #NUM!, which sometimes aborts the query with a 'Number overflow' or something. #NUM! is supposed to indicate that a number field can't display the data because it's not a number. In this case, text displays properly, which indicates that Access doesn't 'think' it's a number field, but nulls appear as #NUM!. This is crazy! SignatureBill Reed "If you can't laugh at yourself, laugh at somebody else" Even CStr([Impact Description]) doesn't stop the #NUM!

Thanks Jeanette. I will be sure to implement Jamie's solution on my laptop. The PC here at my client site is another matter. I am awaiting a visit from IT. >Bill >here is a link to a previous answer to this problem [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >> Even CStr([Impact Description]) doesn't stop the #NUM!
