    Error message that states the field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add.

    Using Access 2010.

    I'm getting an error message that I've never seen before. Below is a screen shot of the query, and then a screen shot of the error message. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing to cause the error?

    Why are you not linking on the PK field BankAccountID? The queries should include that field.

    I don't understand why you would get that error. Is this just a SELECT query?

    Why is there a BeginningBalance field? Beginning account 'balance' should just be a deposit transaction record.

    If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Sorry it took so long for me to respond. The holidays were super busy, then year-end created a hectic schedule as well.

    I've attached the db for analysis.

    Thanks very much!

    I still think the aggregate queries should group on the AccountID instead of name. Don't include the REF_BankAccounts table in the aggregate queries.. Then join the aggregate queries to REF_BankAccounts on the ID fields.

    I changed the Currency fields to Number (double) type and removed Currency formatting and changed the aggregate queries to group by account ID fields and linked on ID fields. Qry_All_Balances now works.

    I never use Currency type and I never set formatting in tables.
