Need Help Deciphering Error Message Urgent

Guest · Apr 13, 2004

I'm trying to run a report I wrote and am getting the following error messag

"This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For Example, a numeric expression may contain too many compliicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."

I cannot figure out which, expression they are talking about. Is there a way to go step by step through the report writing process?

If you need more info about this, please let me know. This is a critical assignment for me

The expression usually refers to the query/table
(recordsource) that is being used to run the report. It
might help if you copy and paste that here.

Hope that helps...

Sometimes if you go to the Record source property of the
report and go to the modify stage and do a preview
sometimes it will show you.

The other thing it could be is that you have too many
queries trying to run for the report. Break the queries
out (ie.. make one a Make Table query and use that table
instead of a complicated query).
