try to identify the record causing the overflow....my guess is that it's a large number maybe in a currency which does not use decimal points, eg JPY

Also what was the % increase? Perhaps that was unusually large too.

we're only using USD. Also, the % is 2, 3, or 4 %. We also tried entering 4.00 and that bombed.

what is the source data value that is causing the overflow? Maybe the data is corrupted some how so that the salary figure is unexpectedly high....or maybe it's the CEO's wages!!
