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!

Using Crystal Reports XI Developer;
Using MS SQL Server 2000;

public static void Main()
{
      Having trouble figuring out the syntax for writing SQL Expression Fields in the Formula Workshop.  My main problem is I can't find any examples anywhere to see how one actually works.  Anyway, I've checked my query on the actual SQL engine using the Query Analyzer and it works just fine there.  
My specific query looks like this:

SELECT AVG(answer)
FROM tercon.dbo.tbl_questionnaire_logins, tercon.dbo.tbl_questionnaire_answers
WHERE teamid IN (257, 258, 259)

Using the SQL statement above and clicking on the check button (in Crystals' Fomula Workshop) I get the following error:

Error in Compiling SQL Expression:
Failed to retreive data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: Incorrect syntax near the keywork 'SELECT'
SQL State" 42000
Native Error: 156 [Database Vendor Code 156 ].

I've tried all sorts of stuff.  Taking off the AVG() and just running it with "answer" in the SELECT portion.  I've tried putting parenthesis around each of the database, table and column names like Crystal does when you view Database >> Show SQL Query.  Example

SELECT "tercon"."dbo"."tbl_questionnaire_answers"."answer"
FROM "tercon"."dbo"."tbl_questionnaire_answers"

And I get the same error.  I don't know where I'm going wrong.  Any Ideas?
}
