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!

faster version of controltip to display tooltip text

Asked by rberke in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: ms access controltip tooltip controltiptext hover yellow telltale mouse

On my machine with access 2003, controltip takes about 5 seconds to display, which is annoying.

So, I am looking for a simple way to speed things up.   A tools option (or even a registry hack) changing the 5 second delay to a 1 second delay would be great.

But, since I don't know how to do this, the attached code using the mousemove event is the best I can come up with.
There are several problems
#1,  Every form needs its own control named "myToolTip"
#2,  I would like to code the mousemove events to be =tooltipper() instead of =tooltipper("form","controlname").
      I tried saying =tooltipper(Me), but that does not work.
#3,  The tooltipper subroutine runs about 500 times a second for as long as the mouse is in the control


I hope someone can help
