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!

VB .NET MS Access SQL Update - "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" exception

Asked by jes12345 in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Access Database, Microsoft Programming

I have an application that tries to update a row in an Access database but I get the following exception on one system:
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [22018] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

Please note this issue does not occur in our testenvironment and it only happens for one installation.

I assume it is the Date/Time field that fails. What is the best way of setting a Date/Time value in an Access database from VB.NET?

Here is the sql:
"UPDATE Table SET DateField='" + strTodaysDate + "' WHERE ID=" + strID

See below for a definition of strTodaysDate.

Thanks J
