Overflow means the number is too large for the data type.
As an example, open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), and enter:
? 200 * 200
It overflows, because the default data type in VBA is Integer (16-bit),
which runs out at 32767. 40000 is too big, so we must convert one of the
numbers to a Long Integer (32-bit) so it does not overflow:
? CLng(200) * 200
Use CDbl() to convert to a double, CCur() to convert to Currency, CVDate()
to convert to date.

Running a particular Access report or the query associated with it
brings up the warning "Overflow". What does this mean? WhatI have I
done wrong?
Both report and query were fine before lunch and the only thing I have
changed is updated the data from one of the tables it pull info from.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
