I was able to circumvent the problem by changing the datatype on the import. I had been defaulting everything to text on the imports. I reworked each import to use the correct data type and avoided having to convert in VBA.

What is the best approach for convering large numbers from text to numeric in access? I have some code where I used CINT but found in cases where the number is very large it drops out. I experimented with cdlb and clng but the still had issues.<br />
<br />
My intent was to convert to numeric so I could apply an allowance when I compare between the 2 tables. So, if something was greater than say 2% I would flag it as an error but less than that I would allow. <br />
<br />
Thanks

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
