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!

Microsoft Access commandbar listing

Asked by BJTurner in Microsoft Access Database, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Microsoft Access, toolbar, commandbar

I am working on a Microsoft Access database that was created in Microsoft Access 2003.  The users are now using Access 2007 and we are developing in 2007.  However, the custom toolbars the original developer created were created in Access 2003.  A couple of the menu items do not work and we need to add items to the commandbar.  Going back and forth between developing in Access 2003 and Access 2007 is a pain, so we plan to migrate the toolbars into ribbons.  We know how to do it so we are going to do it.

Anyway, opening and recording every button on the ribbons as well as the method/action they execute is a pain.  We would like to create a procedure that does it for us.  I created the procedure in the code below.  It works to a certain extent and then it doesn't.  For example, one toolbar has four separate menus: File, Edit, View, and Reports.  In each menu there are items.  When I run the code below it will return the File, Edit, View, and Reports, but it doesn't list any of the other items under these menus and I can't go any lower on the tree.  

According to my search of the web, the cbarMenu.Controls(controlname) should have a Controls property, but mine does not.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Tammy
