Question : Overflow Problem In Access VBA

Hello, this is the code. It was working five minutes ago. i closed and re opened access and now it doesnt work and gives me a runtime error 6 overflow. When I hit debug it highlights and takes me to
While i < 100 And Abs((nLastResidual - nResidual) / nLastResidual) > 10 ^ -8
I am not exactly sure what can be the problem

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit


Public Function XIRR(aXIRR As Variant, nRate As Double, nPayments As Integer) As Double
Dim z As Integer
XIRR = 0                                        ' residual of function
For z = 1 To nPayments
  XIRR = XIRR + aXIRR(z, 2) / (1 + nRate) ^ (aXIRR(z, 1) / 365)
Next z


End Function

Dim rstXIRR As Recordset
Dim aXIRR() As Double
Dim nPayments As Integer

Dim i As Integer, j As Integer

Dim sql As String

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstXIRR = dbs.OpenRecordset(sql)

nPayments = rstXIRR.RecordCount

ReDim aXIRR(nPayments, 3)



nRate = 0.1                                                                     ' initial guess
nRateStep = 0.1                                                              ' arbitrary guess

i = 1

  aXIRR(i, 1) = DateDiff("d", dFirstPayDate, !Tdate)

Answer : Overflow Problem In Access VBA

Overflow means you tried to place a value into a variable that is outside of the range the variable can handle.
For example, an Access integer field holds whole values +/- 32767 (ish).  If you tried to assign 50000 to an integer variable, you would get an overflow error.

In a code window I'd go to Tools menu, Options..., Advanced tab (may be different based on your version of Access), set 'Break On All Errors'.
Then save and run.  When the error occurs again, instead of Ok hit the Debug button, then you'll be in code at the exact line/moment the error occured, and be able to figure out what's causing it.
