May be stupid, but getting weird error when I try to run a report

I am doing a database in Access 97 to replace another piece of software we use at my workplace, and I haven't used the software much before. I created a report in wizard mode with data from a data table. When I try to view it, I get two errors, one saying that the "field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add" and the other saying that there is "no current record." But then, about 4 pages of what would be a 40+ page report pop up.

The same data table is used in a form, and works flawlessly. I am leading myself to believe that there may be a limit on the amount of data you can have on a report, but this doesn't make sense to me. Am I missing a really simple step somewhere along the line?

Thanks in advance
