    Action Failed: Error Number: 2950

    Hi all,
    I recently inherited some bad files from a previous DBA. I had a similar DB with the same error and managed to find the solution to that one, but this one is giving me fits.
    We have a welcome page that asks for a date range for the specification range. When entered the user click the Button selector to run a a report. Upon clicking the button I get error 2950 (that SOB) that first states "This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables." then after clicking "OK" brings me to the Action Failed Message which states that Macro Name: "DATE ENTRY PAGE" : COMMAND1 : ONCLICK : EMBEDDED MACRO" Condition "TRUE" Action Name: "OPENREPORT" Arguments: "REPORT PAGE, 2, , , NORMAL" Error Number: 2950.



    I'm pulling out my hair here...please help

    How about converting the macro to code and see if it is any different? http://www.btabdevelopment.com/ts/de...aspx?PageId=91

    I agree, VBA is easier to debug.

    However, if you must stay with macro, want to provide db for analysis? Follow instructions at bottom of my post.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    In my case, this error occurred while I was trying to use a macro in the "on click" button. One of my friend suggested me to convert the macro to vba code then I tried macro design ribbon in access 2010 which has a option convert to vba button. I did this and copied the code into my program and it worked!!

    Hope it will work for you also!!

    I figured it out...Somewhere in the Sharepoint List, there was a cell with a #Value Error. The cell was a formula calculated cell, and set to NotNull. Why it threw a 2950 I'll never know but once I corrected the cell the script worked.
