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!

Access stops responding when trying to open any database both on the network and on the local machine...

Asked by Kenman76 in VB Database Programming, OS / 2 Network Security

Tags: , , ,

So far this has happened to 2 different users machines (both desktop and laptop). When I try to open an access database that is stored on a network or on the local machine, access stops responding. You can't close the program out, you can't stop the program in the task manager and if you log off it just says that it's logging off but never does anything (we've let it sit at the logging off screen for over an hour and a half just to see if it would resolve itself).

We just recently moved to a new fileserver that is using Windows 2008 server on it within the past week but so far out of 65+ users this has only happened to 2 people. It happened to 1 person yesterday, we wiped his machine completely and then reinstalled the OS and Office 2007 and everything seems to be working fine now with no issues. Then today it happened to another user, in both instances the user could not open access files on both their laptop and desktop. We've also tried moving the databases that they are using to their local desktop to run it to see if they were having a network issue but get the same results. We've copied over fresh copies of the databases to their personal directories (ones that everyone else in the company can open and work in with no problems) and they still couldn't open them.

Any ideas as to what this could be? I want to try to get this resolved so that either I can keep this from happening to someone else or so that I can figure out a better solution than to wipe out both laptop and desktop and start from scratch.

Also, I don't receive any error codes from access when I try to open it....it just starts to open the program and hangs and never responds again after that.Start Free Trial
