Default #ERROR for a Field

The problem is that the formula in that field is returning an error because
the values in the fields that make up the formula calculation return an
invalid result. *You can include better logic in the formula to test for
invalid results and return a blank/null value; the IIF function is a good
candidate.

I'm using O2003. I added Combination field and for each new contact
it works fine. The trouble I'm having is until I open a current
contact and edit it, the value of #ERROR appears in the field. I've
tried to complete a group update so the data changes (city, title,
etc.), but no luck. I have around 10,000 names so editing each one
manually is not something to look forward to.


Any ideas to complete the group update so the contact gets updated and
the #ERROR is removed? I also tried to apply an old form and then
reapply my custom form. No luck.

Dear [First Name]:


Thanks.


Shawn


After trying some items, now I always get the #ERROR. *I edit the data
for a contact, see it being updated in the field (while I'm still in
the contact), save the contact, and when I open the contact again, the
field reflects #ERROR again.


Hopefully its something simple that I'm missing.


Shawn


Eric:

Thank you. I will give that a try. I appreciate your help.
