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!

Asked by gillit in VB Database Programming

Tags: , , ,

In the below code I am trying to obtain a specific field value but everytime the query runs in the code it produces an empty string.

Private Function GetNo() As String
On Error Resume Next

      Dim number As String
      Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
      Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
      Dim connectString As String
      Dim databasePath As String
      Dim sql As String
      Dim Day As Date
      Dim message As String
      Dim pDate As String
      
      
      Day = Date()
      pDate = Format$(Day, "mm/dd/yyyy")

      
      'initialize the database connection
      databasePath = ResolveAlias("database")
      connectString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & databasePath
      sql = "SELECT TOP 1 * FROM FS_BankCashSet WHERE CashSetCreatedDate = '" & pDate & "' ORDER BY CashSetNumber ASC"
      message = "SQL: " & sql
      LogError "GetCashSetNo", message
      If (databasePath <> Empty) Then
            conn.Open connectString
            
            If (conn.State = adStateOpen And Err.Number = 0) Then
                  rs.Open sql, conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
                  
                  If (rs.State = adStateOpen And Err.Number = 0) Then
                        number = Left(rs.Fields("CashSetNumberString").Value & "", 4)
                  End If
            
            Else
                  message = "Couldn't query to obtain cash set number." & vbCrLf _
                                                & "SQL: " & sql & vbCrLf _
                                                & "Error Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf _
                                                & "Error Description: " & Err.Description
                  LogError "GetNo", message
            End If
            
      Else
            message = "Couldn't connect to the database at '" & databasePath & "'." & vbCrLf _

                                          & "Error Description: " & Err.Description
            LogError "GetNo", message
      End If
      
      If (rs.State = adStateOpen) Then rs.Close
      Set rs = Nothing
      If (conn.State = adStateOpen) Then conn.Close
