[mso] Re: Access Text Field

How about wrapping up your query expression in:

        Iif(Isnumber(<expression>,<expression>,"N/A")

Untested, but should work.

Subject: [mso] Access Text Field


I have an Access table with a value as text. The value is actually a
test score.  It's possible to put a text value in this field. When text
is a value, my query to extract the data as numeric by multiplying times
1 is halted with a data type mismatch. what can I do to get all the
other records to multiply and ignore the record with the text value?  
thanks. /glenda
