I am using VBA in Excel to open an Access2003 database (~150M in size). It
worked fine but now I'm seeing an overflow error (#6) when I do an
OpenRecordset. Are there any ways to avoid this problem without using
Server? I ran the compress/repair option on the database and split the
database between tables and queries with no luck. ALSO, if I move to
Server, will I still have this problem, i.e., is it a recordset size problem
in EXCEL?

Thanks,

Are you dividing in you query

No. I've traced the offending query to the following SQl statement.:

SELECT [MPM WBS Table].[WBS or NWA], [MPM WBS Table].Parent, Sum([EOC Data
Table].[BCWS Hrs]) AS [SumOfBCWS Hrs], Sum([EOC Data Table].[BCWS Cost]) AS
[SumOfBCWS Cost], Sum([EOC Data Table].[ETC Hrs]) AS [SumOfETC Hrs], Sum([EOC
Data Table].[ETC Cost]) AS [SumOfETC Cost], Sum([EOC Data Table].[BCWP Hrs])
AS [SumOfBCWP Hrs], Sum([EOC Data Table].[BCWP Cost]) AS [SumOfBCWP Cost],
Sum([EOC Data Table].[ACWP Hrs]) AS [SumOfACWP Hrs], Sum([EOC Data
Table].[ACWP Cost]) AS [SumOfACWP Cost]
FROM [EOC Data Table] INNER JOIN [MPM WBS Table] ON [EOC Data Table].[WBS
ID] = [MPM WBS Table].[WBS or NWA]
WHERE ((([EOC Data Table].YYYYMM)<=200810))
GROUP BY [MPM WBS Table].[WBS or NWA], [MPM WBS Table].Parent;

This works if the "WHERE" is 200810, but not for values <=200810. (This is
actually a date range in YYYYMM format.) It even overflows even for YYYYMM
between 200805 and 200810.
