I would suspect that your CalcCheck routine is erroring on some records.
It may be that the routine cannot handle null values or is doing a
divide by zero someplace or ???.

When you try to Order by or Filter by the results of that function
(especially Filter by) then if any error is "returned" will cause the
order by or filter by in the SQL statement to error out for the ENTIRE
query. If you are just returning the field in the SELECT clause, the
query may not ever see the error since the "bad" record may be filtered
out before the calculation takes place.

By the way, it would be nice to TELL us the field that is causing the
problem instead of relying on us to look at a long SQL statement, parse
out what is probably happening, and then guess which field (or fields)
is causing the problem.

Sorry, you are right, it is the calcheck function that I was referring to.
Will try to be more specific in the future.

I have to post at home, but this problem is at work. I will copy out the
results and check them with Excel if I have enough resources in my work
computer. The module returns 63,000 records when unfiltered.

You might consider posting the VBA code of the CalCheck Function.
Someone might be able to point out what could be the cause of the
problem and work out a solution to handle the problem.

Everything works fine until I try to use the criteria on that field either
for filtering or sorting, then I get a data type mismatch error. I'm using
Access 2007. Casting to CStr() has no effect.

Thanks in advance.
