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.

Detecting if a printer is installed

Asked by darkrain in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: printer, detecting

I am trying to trap an error in some code that crashes if the suer does not have a printer installed. I have used the on error function to capture it, but if i then unload the form i get another error say it canot unload this context. So instead I want to check if there is a printer installed, if there is then this form can continue to run, otherwise display a message box with only the vbOk button telling of the error and then returning back to the main form.

ie click Report goes to report form and say is there a printer installed yes / no

if yes continue with execution and display the report

else

display message that a printer needs to be installed and wait for ok to be clicked
ok clicked return to main form and allow normall operation again.

if Report is clicked again the same happens.

I hope i have explained what i am trying to achive

thanks in advance.
