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!

Advice needed and maybe even implementation help with current VBA project and upgrade.

Asked by rgn2121 in Visual Studio, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Access Coding/Macros

Okay, this might be a little long, but I will be as descriptive as possible.

Okay, I work for a large company analyzing data in Oracle tables on a daily basis.  Our department creates a lot of reports and applications that are usually designed to be "quick fixes" so that a user gets to see what they want and then if they like it, it might be sent to another dept to be done up and look more professional.
So, my coworker and I created an app using Access 2003 and VBA that pulls down data and analyzes it and graphs that data.  The graph updates every minute and is as near a real-time view of our operational flow as we can get from these tables.  The graph displays 4 lines based of of tables that are built from the data that is pulled down.  For the data to be pulled, manipulated and then graphed takes about 20 seconds when the app is running locally.  Running from a network share, it takes closer to a minute to do the same work.
Right now, this isn't a problem because it is just loaded on a pc in the office and the managers come by and check it.  Very soon though, the regional big wigs are going to want to see this without haveing to come to this office.  Most if not all of our dept apps are housed on servers that can be accessed by anyone that we give rights to, but there is nothing that generates a graph and runs minute to minute.  Also, to go on the servers it would have to have a true VB (this is the language I know) front end.  I have written most of the app in VB.net and I currently just display the data in DataGridViews right now just so I can see it.  
I am curious what some more experienced professionals might suggest and what options I might have as to how to go about making it avaliable to more users without it taking so long to run.  I have looked into graphing with the msChart control as we don't have any graphing software that I am aware of...
