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!

Word Combobox From a Database

Asked by ExtremeD in Microsoft Word, VB Database Programming, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Microsoft, Word, 2003

Hi all -

I have a word document (Word 2003) which has a combobox.  I'm trying to get the names from my database (Access 2003) to be populated within the drop down list.  The Database resides in my C Drive.
(Full Path; C:\db\Names.mdb)

In the database, I have a table called "tblNames" and within that table, I have a field name called "StaffNames" which its data type is set to "Text".

In my word document, I have entered the following code (Below), and setup the references.
But, the "StaffNames" are not being populated in the word document combobox?

Does anyone know why and perhaps can help me with the coding?  
Thank you.

........................................................................................................

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    On Error GoTo UserForm_Initialize_Err
    Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
    cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
             "Data Source=C:\db\Names.mdb"
    rst.Open "SELECT DISTINCT [StaffNames] FROM tblNames ORDER BY [StaffNames];", _
             cnn, adOpenStatic
    rst.MoveFirst
    With Me.ComboBox1
        .Clear
        Do
            .AddItem rst![StaffNames]
            rst.MoveNext
        Loop Until rst.EOF
    End With
UserForm_Initialize_Exit:
    On Error Resume Next
    rst.Close
    cnn.Close
    Set rst = Nothing
    Set cnn = Nothing
    Exit Sub
UserForm_Initialize_Err:
    MsgBox Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error!"
    Resume UserForm_Initialize_Exit
End Sub
