Numeric Field Overflow Error

[Dkline]

"Numeric field overflow. (Error 3349) The data in a Btrieve field is too
large to represent in your application."

All of a sudden I'm getting the above error message. The query has about 100
records in it. It is the "Row Source" for a combolistbox. I've done a few
times before but today - delivery day - it decides to be difficult.

I'm mystified as to what the problem really represents.

change the combobox's underlying fields numeric field size to the type
double. this should hold the data being retreived.

The values are text e.g. "Smith Brothers Investments"? Does Access convert
that to numeric to make its matches?

Sorry if I sound grumpy but this has really frustrated me this morning.
