Supressing #Error in Access reports ?

In an Access report, where there is a total line using the SUM()
function against a field in the detail rows, is there a way to
suppress the "#Error" that Access displays in that calculated field
when do data records exist in the query the report is based on. This
seems like it should be easy, but I haven't found it yet.

Bill,

You'll probably need to use a conditional statement as the control source in
your total line, something like:

=iif(Sum(Field) > 0, Sum(Field),null )

or

=iif(Sum(Field) > 0, Sum(Field),'na' )

No, this doesn't work either, it still gives "#Error" on the report
for that calculated field.

I am getting strange print-related error messages when trying to create (not print!) reports. For example, when I click 'new' to create a report then choose 'design view', I get an error message that says: 'There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that was unavailable.' When I choose 'report wizard', I can go through all of the steps but then I get an error message...

hi all, I am a newcomer to using modules in microsoft access. I have written code to create a table and append other tables onto it. However, with each step a dialog box appears to ask if I'm sure I want to append the records. Unfortunately the MS access book is out of the library. Does any one know how to supress these dialog boxes (i.e., say yes to every box that appears)? Thanks in advance Donagh

I have an A2K database that has links to 3 of my other databases (external links) to run some reports. The coding in any of the 4 is pretty simple. Recently when we make a new .mde for the "main" database, the first time we run our reports (all executed from code from a form), we get a Type Mismatch Error on the line: Set db = CurrentDb

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
