The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Asked by Velio in Crystal Reports Software

Ok, this is the first time I've ever used CrystalReports, I'm just taking stabs in the dark, so be gentle:
I use the version that comes with VS.NET 2003

Right, so I have a USERS table and a CLIENTS table...both reference a PERSONAL_DETAILS table, which has their respective details (for the purposes of this we'll only consider PD_NAME and PD_SURNAME)

I also have a TIMETABLE table, which stores tasks which users perform for clients (so it references both tables). Let's only consider it has TT_DATE, TT_DESC and TT_IS_COMPLETE fields (the TT_IS_COMPLETE I use to only report tasks which are complete)

Here's what I want my report to look like:

Joe Soap
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Johnny Worthblington     2005/10/05    Send a bill for exorbitant amount of money
Pertitius Hillary               2005/09/21    Arbitrary Task

Boss Man
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smiley Raincloud            2005/10/03   Deliver weather manipulation machine

....and so on...

the problem I'm having is, since both client and user names are stored in PERSONAL_DETAILS, I have no idea how to get the client names for each task (it seems to be doing user names by default, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I've groupped by USR_ID, but when I try to add another group field - CLI_ID, it gives me absolutely no results)...

Hmm...cheersStart Free Trial
