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!

MS Access Hide DB Window... on Pop Up / Modal Form...

Asked by a260148 in Access Architecture/Design, Windows 2000 Operating System, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: , , ,

I currently have an Access App with a Pop Up / Modal Form. Upon opening, it hides the Access DB window using the attached code...
It works perfectly... except when the app is minimized, the minimized form goes to the bottom left had side of the screen... and the app doesn't show in the taskbar. In order to select or maximixe the app again, you have to go the bottom left of your desktop to get it.
Wondering if there's anyway to still Hide The Access window, use a Pop up / Modal form, and still have it show in your taskbar.
Help is much appreciated.Start Free Trial
