Overflow Error on Calculation
Morning all,
Trying to calculate the wieight on a punch in Microsoft Access (form) in order to calculate the transport charge.
I'm getting an overflow on the following line of code. Can anyone help me overcome this?
w_calc = 3.14159265 * (Me.ShankDiameter / 10) ^ 2 * Me.OverallLength * 7.8 / 10 * 4 * 1000
shankdiameter = 4
overalllength = 80
Thanks
Sean

Me.WeightPP = 3.14159265 * (Me.ShankDiameter / 10) ^ 2 * Me.OverallLength * 7.8 / (10 * 4 * 1000)
That works for me as well.
Go into the immediate pane and try:
?3.14159265 * (4 / 10) ^ 2 *80 * 7.8 / (10 * 4 * 1000)

hmmm
Me.WeightPP = 3.14159265 * (Me.ShankDiameter / 10) ^ 2 * Me.OverallLength * 7.8 / (10 * 4 * CLng(1000))
works....
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That might be an explanation. I never moved to SP3 because of all the problems reported as soon as it was issued.
So my examples are all on sp2.

Splitting points for all the input - but the Clng got me working!
Thanks!

Glad you got it working!
What Data_Type are w_calc ,shankdiameter & overalllength ? (integer,single etc)
