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!

Sort/Index between VFP9 and SQL 2000

Asked by leemarc in FoxPro Database

Imagine the following 4 itm in a cursor with the column being a vendor name
<NONE>
1E
3Com
Ingram Micro
Select * from table Order by vendor name produces produced the same list as above.However when I get the cursor into vfp and index on the vendor names the list appears as follows:
1E
3Com
<NONE>
Ingram Micro
I realize that the < char asc is 60 while the 1 char is 49. If that is the issue, why does sql 2000 have a different order.  I need the index for search capabilities in the resultant cursor [there are really over 1000 vendors in the list].
So far the only thing I can come with is to for a space as the first char in <NONE> so that it is always 1st in the list.  Should there not be a better way?
