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!

Unbounded Checkbox in Continuous Form

Asked by zorvek in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: access, continuous, form, checkbox

I want to add a checkbox to a continuous form for temporarily marking selected records in a muti-user shared environment. I have been asked to do this without adding any new tables or fields to existing tables. I have reviewed as many of the previous ee Q&A as I can find on this topic and have only been able to find solutions that either suggest adding new database elements or writting rather complex VB code with subforms and dynamically created controls. I am not very experienced with SQL but have excellent VB coding skills. I would rather not go through the excesses of writting a lot of VB code when adding a simple table to the database would do the trick. But, because the owner of the database does not want to add new elements and some users will be accessing via a low bandwidth connection, I would like to do as much locally as possible.

Is there a way to build an SQL query that adds a temporary field to the resulting recordset that is not stored in the database but that can contain a changeable value?

Is there a way to add an unbound checkbox to the detail section of a continuous form that is instanced once per record, can contain it's own value, is accessable from VB, and provides to VB the record number to which it applies?
