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!

Create and Save Word Doc from MS Access

Asked by MDauphinais1 in Microsoft Access Database

I am trying to make it so that when a user clicks a button on a form, MS Access will automatically generate a word doc with the data from the form, save the doc in a temp location with the formatting (font size, bold, etc.) that I specify and a file name that I specify, attach the doc to a new e-mail message with the subject and To already filled in, and then delete the temp doc.

With the code below, I can get as far as generating the new document with the data from the form, but then for some reason it creates two documents instead of 1 and doesn't hide word, prompting the user to save the file. I don't want the user to see Word or select what to name the file.

The code I have so far is attached.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
