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!

OLEObject export from excel VB and get file name

Asked by jodymichael in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Spreadsheet Software

Tags: excel vb oleobjects

I originally posted the question "How to export a worksheet object to a folder?" which Stellan provided a great solution, and I have since had a slight change in requirement. I have attempted to adapt the code accordingly but failed.

This time, I have the attachment collected on a sheet called 'Attachments', and on a sheet called WorksheetF I have two columns of data relating to the attachments. Column B rows 2 and down collate a list of the attachment names e.g. "Document 1.doc", whilst column C rows 2 and down collate the full name eg. Full file path of the machine it originated from plus the file name such as "C:\Documents and Settings\maria.morris\My Documents\My Pictures\deskmove 3.jpg".

As I cannot necessarily come up with a valid way of matching the object to the data in each row, I could do with setting it up to save any images to one folder, and any other attachments such as word documents, excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations to another folder. My Last attempt produced the code below which is an adaptation of Stellan's original code, but it seems to loop through and over write each object and assign the wrong name occasionally.

Any help will be great. I just need to get the attachments stored in the correct folder locations, with the correct file name - I will probably also add a text string of a few characters to the start of the file name but im sure i can handle that.

I would also ideally like to - if possible, call this macro from Outlook :-(
