I am wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Access Database that
has been running since forever. Now when I try to open a form I get the
"Run-time error '6' Overflow message and a window asking me to debug or
end. Here is what i see on debug:
Private Sub CmdPeopleAdd_Click()
Dim db As Database
Dim Rs As Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim SQL As String
Dim i As Integer
Set db = CurrentDb
SQL = "SELECT ID FROM Clients ORDER BY ID;"
Set Rs = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)
Rs.MoveLast
i = Rs!ID + 1 ' Increment the number by one
Rs.AddNew
Rs!ID = i
Rs.Update
Rs.Close
db.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmPeople", , , , , , i
End Sub
The highlighted area to debug is i = Rs!ID + 1 ' Increment the number by
one.
Thank you,
sf

I guess you have now added so many clients that the number can no longer be
held by an integer. Changing the line
Dim i As Integer
to
Dim i As Long
should fix the immediate problem. There are other comments we could make on
the code, but get that bit fixed first.
