Expression too complex to be evaluated

by Coll <col_mcmanus@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 12, 2008 at 11:43 AM

I'm receiving this message when running a query...

This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be
evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many
complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning
parts of the expression to variables.

Here's the background. I have a query. I've figured out through
cutting and pasting which field is the culprit. So I have a field with
the following info...

eecat: Cat([allemp_12312007]![employment_category])

The function cat esstentially converts the values in the employment
category field to a numeric using a case statement.

Then I have this as my criteria for the field...

>[forms]![frmSwitchboard]![frame42]

Frame 42 is an option group with two options.

If I remove the criteria line, it seems to work fine. The baffling
part for me is that I have the exact same setup in another query (just
based on a different, but almost identical table) and it's working
fine. Any ideas?

Thanks.
