I get a message about data type mismatch
Access for Microsoft 365 Access 2021 Access 2019 Access 2016 Access 2013 Access 2010 Access 2007 More…Less
This error indicates that Access cannot match an input value to the data type it expects for the value. For example, if you give Access a text string when it is expecting a number, you receive a data type mismatch error.
To troubleshoot this message, try the following:
-
If you just changed the Default Value for a field in a table and see a message about data type mismatch when you try to enter new records, open the table in Design view and make sure the expression you use for the field’s Default Value evaluates as the same data type as the field. For example, if the field has the Number data type, make sure you don’t put quote marks around the Default Value expression (e.g., «1» would evaluate as text, not a number.)
-
Verify that the criteria for a column matches the data type of the column’s underlying field. If you specify text criteria for a numeric or date/time field, you’ll get this error.
As an example, if you type the criteria «50» or «12/13/12», an error message is returned because Access interprets values in quote marks as text, not numbers. So be sure to remove those quote marks. You’ll know when you enter a valid date in the Criteria field because # signs will appear around the date, like #12/13/12#.
Other situations that cause a data type conflict include:
-
You’re specifying criteria for a Lookup field, and the criteria use the values that are shown (like a name) in the lookup list instead of their associated foreign key values (like an ID). Because the foreign key values are the values actually stored in the underlying table, you should use them when you specify criteria for a field.
-
You typed the dollar sign ($) in criteria you specified for a Currency field. Remove the dollar sign, and then view the results.
You can tell if the numeric criteria you entered isn’t a number if it has quote marks around it. When you type the $ sign, Access automatically encloses the string you type in quote marks.
-
Verify that the data type of each pair of joined fields in the query is the same. If not, change the data type of one of the joined fields to match the data type of the other so you don’t get the mismatch error.

@YCF_L explains the problem correctly. I believe the issue that you have @Muhammad Quanit is that you are not understanding what your query is asking for and what you’re trying to pass into the query.
To break it down for you, your query:
"Insert into Calculation_Info (prodID,item_name,net_amount,tax_rate,Amt_Of_Product,Grand_Total) values(?,?,?,?,?,?)"
Takes 6 values that you have to provide (Please NOTE the type of each they take in):
- prodID (int)
- item_name(String)
- net_amount(double)
- tax_rate(BigDecimal)
- Amt_Of_Product(int)
- Grand_Total(BigDecimal)
In your program, you have 6 text boxes that will obtain these values to put in HOWEVER when you call the method: getText() it returns a String type. So when we try to put String prodID = "3" into our SQL query, you would receive the error you originally received: datatype mismatch. Now your current problem is: java.lang.numberFormatException : for input String. This means that you are trying to convert a String value into a number; however it is FAILING. So what could be possible reasons for this? Well…
/* Lets say I have a string with value 4.7*/
String s = "4.7";
/* Lets try to parse this using parseInt method*/
Integer.parseInt(s); //NumberFormatException -- because 4.7 cannot be converted into an int
/* How about if my string was a word/phrase?*/
String s = "foo";
/* Attempt to parse...*/
Integer.parseInt(s); //NumberFormatException -- because "foo" cannot be converted into integer
Double.parseDouble(s); //NumberFormatException -- because "foo" cannot be converted into a double
So as you can see, you have to be very careful and keep track of what you are converting and passing into your query (and vice versa).
As @YCF_L mentioned, perhaps your String contains white spaces at the start or end. There is a method called trim() in the String class that will help you with that.
/* Let's call the getText() method to obtain our string */
String s = item_name.getText(); // s = " Foo Bar "
/* NOTE: the white spaces (' ') BEFORE and AFTER the String we want*/
System.out.println(s.trim()); // Prints out "Foo Bar"
So the String OBJECT has a method called trim() which gets rid of TRAILING and LEADING white spaces, but NOT white spaces in between. So instead of getting " Foo Bar ", we will get "Foo Bar".
I upvoted @YCF_L ‘s answer — he deserves the credit. I just wanted you to understand this concept since you were still confused after his explanation followed by receiving the NumberFormatException.
Editted to include the trim() method that was mentioned in the comments.

Hi,
I made a Query by Form with multiple criteria (start date, end date and name) using VB code. However when I run the form, I got a «data mismatch» error. Im not sure if the error comes from the code which I paste below.
Thanks in advance. ^_^
Private Sub cmdOpen_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpen_ClickDim stDocName As String
Dim stWhere As String
Dim blnTrim As Boolean
If Not IsNull(Me.txtBPOman) Then
stWhere = «[BPO Manager]=» & CInt(Me.txtBPOman) & » And «
blnTrim = True
End IfIf (Not IsNull(Me.txtStartDate) And Me.txtStartDate <> «») And (Not IsNull(Me.txtEndDate) Or Me.txtEndDate <> «») Then
stWhere = stWhere & «[Remediation Date] Between #» & Me.txtStartDate & «# And #» & Me.txtEndDate & «#»
blnTrim = False
End If
If blnTrim Then
stWhere = Left(stWhere, Len(stWhere) — 5)
End If
stDocName = «SOCD Report»
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , stWhere

Datatype mismatch usually means you have an incorrect type of data for the function you are attempting. EG You cannot Sum(1+A) as «A» is a string and invalid to addition.
I would suggest that you inspect [Remediation Date] — is it a date Field?
And the values of Me.txtStartDate
and Me.txtEndDate may not be valid dates.You could also try a conversion to date with CDate(Me.txtEndDate)
Good luck…

#2 15.03.2017 00:50:52 Ошибка значит что тип данных в критерии фильтра отличается от типа данных в столбце. Тип данных столбца sql определяет автоматически, не зависимо от формата ячеек. Не уверен, но сдаётся мне что так же как сводная таблица — если в столбце есть хоть одно нечисловое или пустое значение — тип данных — текст.

#6 15.03.2017 13:40:26 А не лучше ли запросы к этому файлику делать? Переименовал файлик в simpleName.txt (для примера кода лежит в папке c:path)
Пример запроса

Hi JTYR2,
Please refer to this thread:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1509422.aspx/1
Try removing all of the properties and adding them one at a time until you find which one causing the data type mismatch.
Since this problem is a .net problem, please visit ASP.net forum for more help.
