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.

Remove Strange Characters from Access Data Field

Asked by joibrooks in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: , ,

I have posted a similar problem to you experts, but here's a new spin. I get an access database from a client and each time i get it, there is always something challenging about it. Previously resolved was my question about removing various HTML tags from a field. Well, now I think that I'm battling carriage returns, line feeds, or some such strange character. I can see the character, I can copy it to the notepad, but I cannot paste it into a simple Find and Replace window or query for it. I've attached the character in a text file and would be more than thrilled to find out what the character is and how to replace it with something like a end of sentence period and space or simply remove it from my data.

I was trying an update query with "*" & chr(13) & "*". I tried charcode 10 and charcode 32 also, but none of these removed anything.

These special characters show up at the beginning of the field, in the middle of the field and at the end of the field. Pretty much anywhere in the field! Sometimes there is one of these characters, sometimes two.
