I have a client who has a database with large numbers, up to 100 billion - and desires reports rounded to the nearest million.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>This report is sorted by agents and datafields are listed in the detail section of the report in billions - where they want to round by millions, divide by 1000, or multiply by .001.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've tried everything, even some examples shown in books and only get a &quot;#Error&quot;.<br><br>Any suggestions, recommendations, or work arounds would be appreciated,<br><br>JWJ
 
OTTOMH, when you do the calculation, are you renaming your textbox?&nbsp;&nbsp;For example, if you have a textbox called LargeNumber, the control source is probably LargeNumber, since that is the way Access works.<br><br>If you change the control source to be LargeNumber/1000, without renaming the textbox, you sort of get into an infinite loop.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try renaming the textbox to something like LargeNumberRounded.<br><br>Good Luck. <p>Kathryn<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>
