Default #Error when using stDev in query

I am getting an error when running a query with StDev in Access. Most
rows have a good calc value, but 2 rows have an #Error value. When I
try to sort by the StDev column I get an overflow error, I also get
overflow errors when I try to run a query based on this query. The
same things happen when I use the var function. The data in the
column has no null values and is a valid numeric data type (currency).

Here is the query:
SELECT Code, Count(t1.acct) AS CountOfAcct, Min(t1.totalchgs) AS
MinOftotalchgs, Max(t1.totalchgs) AS MaxOftotalchgs,
Avg(Bhtn_ipvol.totalchgs) AS AvgOftotalchgs, stdev(t1.totalchgs) AS
StDevOftotalchgs
FROM t1
GROUP BY Code


Here is a snippet of the data:
Code CountOfacct MinOftotalchgs MaxOftotalchgs AvgOftotalchgs
StDevOftotalchgs
372 613 $3,064.40 $64,121.21 $10,186.93 5274.24
373 3422 $1,547.35 $99,172.31 $8,266.91 #Error
374 45 $4,480.93 $27,785.28 $11,476.62 4729.02


If I calculate the StDev manually, I do not get an error, but it takes
a VERY LONG time to complete the query.

Any insight would be helpful.
