WHY DO I GET AN OVERFLOW MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO RUN A QUERY?
 
When I get it it is usually because I have a field or variable set for integer and the number is too big to be an integer (integers can only go up to 36,000 or something--i just pulled that number out of the air, but basically integers can't be very big)...so check that, probably your variable/field type is too small for the data.
 
Another cause is if you have calculated field where something is divided by somethingElse. Check that your denominators are not equal to zero.
