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!

MS Access VBA Runtime Error 438 After Installing Windows XP Patches

Asked by ensermo in Microsoft Access Database, VB Objects, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: WSUS runtime error VBA MS ACCESS

Dear VBA Programmers and Windows System Admins,

We have a MS Access 2003 Database that has some code in it.
This database/code has always worked without problems.
But recently the whole database gets errors.

Run-Time Error #438:
Object doesn't support this property or method

Even if I comment the "simple" code out It gets errors somewhere else and we have to kill the application.

After searching and testing I found out that removing these two Windows Updates makes the database work again.

KB958687
KB960715

This is a "band aid" solution. The organisation has thousands of PC's and don't want to exclude PC's from being updated. They want a permanent solution.

I am an OK programmer but haven't programmed for quite some time.

So I would like some help to solve this problem.

How can I
1. Install this update on ALL PC's and
2. Let the code work again?

Do others have this problem? I assume I am not the only VBA programmer that had this problem right?

All help is appreciated!
