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!

Code to update and add new records from one excel spreadsheet into 2 tables.

Asked by TomDuCrosbie in Microsoft Access Database

My app is an Access 2000 project front end and MS SQL Server 2000 back end.  

Once a month I get a download, from a data wharehouse, data about the customers with accts with my compay.  the data comes as an excel spreadsheet.  What I'd like to do is come up with a way to import the data from the excel spreadsheet into my tables, where if the record already exists it's updated with any new accts, or if new, is added to the database.  The spreadsheet is always named the same and can easily be stored in the same network location.  I'm hoping to have a simple form with just a comand button, that when clicked updates from the spreadsheet, but am unsure on how to write the code to do it.  

tblBusinessContact
BusnessID   BusinessName  DBA  TIN   address  city  state  zip  HomePage   ...

tblBusinessProducts
BusinessID  CurrentProdID  ProductName  Account#

These are the 2 tables the info from the excel spread sheet will be going into.  

I've been reading some other posts and they all seem to be linking the excel spreadsheet first, however I haven't been able to do that , it doesn't seem to be an option using Access project,

I'm slowly learning VBA, SQL, ADO,  and with a bit of thinking I can usually figure out what a bit of code or SQL statement is supposed to do.  So please don't be afraid to be detailed in any explaniations, I won't be offended.  

Thanks

Tom
