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.

Html listener fails to produce output unless user with admin rights runs report once

Asked by tmedley in FoxPro Database

Tags: Microsoft, VFP, 9, distributing exe with report listener apps

We use a vfp active X exe to creaet reports from another application by having the vfp app write the report to disk as an html file using the html listener object. We then view that file through a browser control. When we distribute the exe along with vfp 9 runtime and the required .app files for the report listeners vfp ships with we have a problem. The vfp exe will send reports to the printer just fine but when we send it to the html listener we get a silent error and no output unless a user with admin rights on the workstation runs the process one time. After that any user can do it. I have diffed the registry before and after and checked env settings like path before and after. I cannot find any evidence of what running it once as an admin user changes. This is in an XP environment. Does anyone have any ideas? Does anyone have a good list of what the VFP listener process requires and specifically the HTML listener class. We know it needs MSXML and SOAP and those are definitely in place and registered. I am beginning to suspect some kind of policy setting for token objects maybe? Once an admin has let the process run through which requires some kind of credentialling by the listener to use a "secured" component then the listener class can always do it regardless of who the user is maybe? Where would such stuff be if not in the registry?
