V9, from AccessDB - The accessDB is fed by another program, not easily customized. The field that I want to use as a number is a text field assigned by the program meaning I cannot change the field type in the database. In my report I keep getting the 'string is non-numeric' error. I have tried the ToText function with no luck. Is there another way to convert or is it just not possible?

It may be that it has more than just numerics in it, so use:
if isnumber({table,field}) then
val({table.field})
else
0
-k
if isnumber({table,field}) then
val({table.field})
else
0
-k
