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!

Updating data in an Access form updates incorrect record

Asked by talekzander in Microsoft Access Database, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: , ,

We are experiencing an odd phenomenon.  We have an access database.  The data (backend) resides on the server.  All users for the database have a front-end that is linked to the tables on their local hard drives.  I've created forms for them to use for data entry and navigation to the different parts.  Lately we've been experiencing a situation where someone is adding data to an existing record.  (This data is displayed on a form.)  When the data is changed (e.g., a date changed, a number changed, text field changed) and they move to another field on the form, the record switches to a different record entirely!  It doesn't appear to matter if they use the tab key, enter key or mouse to move to a new field.  I've compacted the database.

If I go directly to the tables, I can modify data without a problem.  I do not have users who are familiar enough with access that they can use this database with the forms.  We've had this database for several years and it has only recently (last few months) started this strange behavior.  I am at a total loss as to why.Start Free Trial
