Dear Access experts:
Access is returning the error, "Expression too complex," despite only entering
an absurdly simple math function. Is there a way to simplify this any further,
or perhaps augment the Access execution limits?

You can augment the Access execution limits only by becoming an MVP. Or you
can simplify the expression by removing the unneeded pair of parenthesis, as
indicated below:

Dear Paul
You make me laugh! Absurdly simple you say. Do you have any idea what
simple means????
I am sure that access can do your math function, but if I was you then I
would break it down into several parts and steps. Now you need to look for
a needle in a haystack. If you break it down, you will also sharply reduce
the chance of making a typo. That is, you can test and check each
individual part of your expression.

Gives me divide by zero error. So at least it's evaluating the expression.
If you supply values for your variables and tell us what the correct answer
is maybe we can help a bit more.

Hi all,
this post contains at the end a handy module that I've used quite often
when I wanted to analyse the occasional complex expression and how it
was to be evaluated.
The function analyse_expression is called with a single string argument
containing an expression. Names are allowed (actually, preferred over
numbers ;-), since the function eval's in a protected dictionary, where
names are generated as needed.
