Query is "Too Complex" Need help with alternate coding.

Copper Contributor

I got an error message that the query was “Too Complex”.  When I entered the code for column 68, I got the error message, “The query is too complex”.  I need help with coding to avoid the problem.

 

This query should contain 110 columns:  5 from the Component table and 105 calculated.

 

Purpose of the query:  This is for a condominium associations Reserve Fund.  The fund tracks each component: e.g., roof, interior painting, carpets, etc.

 

The first 5 columns list the component information.

The association prepares a 30year budget which indicates for each component in which year the Cost will be spent based on the estimated life of the component.

 

The next 15 columns, BY1 to BY15, calculates the year(s) in which the Cost will be spent.

The final 90 columns, CY1 to CY30, show the Cost of each component in the years that Cost is incurred.

NOTE re. columns CY1 to CY30:  I had to divide each year (i.e., CY1 into 3 columns, CY1a, CY1b and CY1 (which added CY1a + CY1b) because the code for one year alone violate the “nesting level limit” of 10.   Consequently, instead of having 30 columns, I now have 90 columns for the 30 years.

 

When I entered the code for column CY17b, I got the error message, “The query is too complex”.

 

Here is the coding……………………..

Solution
it is best to Create a Temp table with that number of Columns and save your calculation result to the table. note however that you cannot have More than 255 columns in ms access.
use VBA to calculate and save the result to the table.
you can open a Form (datasheet) and on the Open/Load event clear the temp table first, calculate and append the result to the table.
Hi arnel_gp. Thanks for responding to my questions. I have the logic down. I will have to freshen up on my VBA. Then I will try to implement.
