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!

Adobe PDF File Open from MS Access Errors after Upgrade to 8.0

Asked by dhemple in Access Forms

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2003

Experts,

I have a command on a form that use to work until Acrobat 8.0 was loaded.  The below command was used to open an Adobe Reader file for the contract of the supplier selected by the user.  Could you please look over the below code and tell me what needs to be changed?  I noticed that the path to Adobe had changed, so I changed it to the following:

stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe  " & stFileName & ""

This change did open Adobe Reader, but it would not open the file.  It gave me an error message stating:  "There was an error opening this document.  This file cannot be found."  I have verified that the file is in the proper place and accessible.  I even moved the file to my "C:\" drive and changed the path reference, and it still errored out.  I'm thinking that there must be a change in how to reference the file to be opened, but I don't know what changed.

Any assistance you can provide in fixing this issue would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you.
Dave

Original Code:
____________________________________________________________
Private Sub cmdOpenAgreement_Click()

Dim stAppName As String
Dim stFileName As String

  stFileName = Forms!frm_main!txtAgreementCoreFileDirectory & Forms!frm_main!txtAgreementFileName
   
  stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe  " & stFileName & ""
  OpenApp = Shell(stAppName, 1)
   
End Sub
