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!

Seek not finding

Asked by stanmurphy in FoxPro Database

Hello all,

I'm going to lose my mind if someone can't figure this out for me.

I'm using VFP9 SP2 on Win7 Ultimate x64.

In my code I select records from a DBF into a cursor. I then scan the cursor and do a seek into another DBF to find records with matching keys. If found, I update the fields that are common to both the cursor and the related DBF (at this point the only field is APPTNUM).

The problem is that the SEEK is not finding the matching key in the second file. And I don't know why.

I've added a SUSPEND after the seek and manually compared the two fields with
? APPTHOLD.apptnum=APPT_DISPLAY_INFO.apptnum and I get .T. so I don't understand why the SEEK fails.

And the really wierd thing is that when I SEEK the other way, from APPT_DISPLAY_INFO into APPTHOLD, it works!

There's only one record in the cursor as I'm still testing so there isn't a lot of complexity here.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
