    is there a check for error in expression builder

    Hello,


    I would like to convert a text string to integer.
    lots of posts say to use val, but it is not listed in access 2010

    So I am trying,
    Creating a field that is numeric
    then just referring to the string field.

    this works good except where it finds actual text.
    It puts the value "#Type!" in there.

    Would there be some kind of function to check for an error or check if the value is text>

    thank you

    Val() wouldn't work?

    Try IsNumeric()

    I never use the expression builder.
