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!

Add Editable Yes/No Field to an Existing Query

Asked by Hubbsjp21 in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: , ,

My title may have been a little misleading, or inaccurate, but I wasn't sure what to title it.  Here is what I need to do.

I have created a series of queries from linked tables that give me a narrowed down recordset.  The recordset will grow (by about 5 - 10 records a day), and will need to be analyzed on a daily basis.  For the most part, based on the changes being made in the underlying linked tables, records are more likely to be added to the recordset than to drop off.  Most of the values in the fields that qualified the records to be in the recordset will not change, thus the growing recordset.  However, by viewing the records, a subjective decision needs to be made by a user as to whether or not the record needs to remain part of the recordset.  Changes cannot be made to the data in the linked tables.  Each record does have a unique value that I could link to.

My idea was to somehow be able to add a Y/N field to my final recorset query that could be edited such that the User could look at the records and mark the records that no longer need to be part of the recordset.  Those records marked yes would be appended to a master table of records that no longer need to be analyzed.  I would change the final query to include the master table, and would use it to exclude records from the daily recordset that have already been viewed.  So basically, my daily query would be compared to my master table.  The daily query would not show records that are a part of the Master table.

Can this part of my question (below) be done?

"My idea was to somehow be able to add a Y/N field to my final recorset query that could be edited such that the User could look at the records and mark the records that no longer need to be part of the recordset. "

While I was writing this question, I thought of a much better way to do it, but my question still stands.
