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!

Importing from Oracle to Excel: Include password in connection string

Asked by PeterFrb in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Oracle 9.x

Tags: , , ,

The following routine represents my attempt at importing a single Oracle source table or query into Excel.  I have about thirty tables that I need to link into contiguous Excel sheets.  In the previous incarnation of the routine, I did not include a password, which forced me to enter the password each and every time the routine below was executed.  I thought that adding the password would be easy, but it's proved not to be.  I have not yet been able to make this a seamless transaction: I have received either an error message or the request for my password.  For ease of use, I have designed a string CONST, which I have been manipulating in hopes of finding the right string; but, so far, no luck.  Can you please assist?
Thanks, ~Peter FerberStart Free Trial
