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!

How to Change SourceDoc for Unbound Object Control in MS Access 2003 Report

Asked by LynnBertrand in Access Reports, Access Coding/Macros, Microsoft Programming

Tags: , , , , , ,

I am developing an application in Access 2003.  It has a table that lists various information about clients.  One of the fields is a text field that has the path to an attachment for that client.  It could be a Word document, a Visio drawing, Adobe document, jpg file, etc.  None of these attachements are that big and there is only one per client.  I want to print the attachment in a report so I have inserted an unbound object frame control in the report.  I have tried to change the SourceDoc property of this control with no success.  I have read several Experts Exchange question/answers and Googled this but have not been able to change it.  When I create the control I need to specify a document and it seems I can't get rid of the original document no matter what I do.

Thank you in advance for your help. Start Free Trial
