When I click the command button below it will allow the view of a report and
sometimes it will give me the message "Runtime Error 6 Overflow". At that
time the line DoCmd.OpenReport "Single Unit Restraints Reporting For Selected
Timeframe", is highlighted in yellow. Any idea what the problem is?

Private Sub cmdSelectSingleUnitForReport_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qupdtUnit"
DoCmd.Requery
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
DoCmd.OpenReport "Single Unit Restraints Reporting For Selected
Timeframe", acViewPreview
End Sub

Thank you,
 
That usually means that you have too large a number being assigned to a field.
For instance, you have an integer field that you are trying to sum and the
sum exceeds 32K. If that happens, you might need to set the number type of
the field to LONG even though you never store a number that is larger than
1000. The sum of the number can exceed the 32K limit.

Basically the sum "field" inherits the data type of the field that is being
summed.
