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!

calling a macro in access with vbscript or batchfiles

Asked by uconnfb13 in Access Architecture/Design, Windows Batch Scripting, Access Coding/Macros

Tags:

i am running into a problem calling a MS Access 2003 macro that runs functions in a module.  I need to call the macro from either a batch file or vbscript.  the problem with running the batchfile (see code snippet) is that when i run it, it opens the database and  brings me to the Access 2003 log in screen form and halts the macro from being called. however, the batch file works fine if i hold shift to open in developers env when i run it.  I also thought to call the macro from a vbscript that opens a connection to the database without actually running Access.exe.  However, i can not find any code that calls the macro when access is not opened (opencurrentdatabase("D:\location").  any suggestions or is it possible to run a macro with only an open connection and not opening the database?  (*also, the functions being called updates tables both in the access db and on a sql server through an odbc connection)
Thanks!
