Supressing #Error in Access reports ?

[Bill Prew]

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.
