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!

2007 Access dropdown method needs delay after form load

Asked by DaveRoehrman in Access Forms, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Access 2007 forms

Why is the .dropdown method of a combo box unable to work when used within the Form_Load event procedure?. This apparently works in Access 2003, but not in Access 2007?

It works to set the form's timerinterval to 1, then use .dropdown on the combo box in the Form_Timer procedure. This is certainly an acceptable solution, but I'd like to know if someone can shed some light on why it does not work as it was apparently intended, and if there's a more direct solution.

I can't upload the entire db, since it contains personal confidential information.
