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 Script -  Fails full execution first run, prompts empty box seconond rum

Asked by Singnetsvc in VB Script, Windows Batch Scripting

Tags: VB Script

Hi All

I am currently working on a online avaliable script which takes a shadow backup of virtual images attached to virtual server. My Issue is that the script does not run full function first attempt, but displays an empty box with an OK botton on second attempt.

The script creates two windows command line files, if they dont exist on first run, the second half of the script fail to run. If they do exist, a bocx with an OK button appears whcih must be pressed in order to have the script continue and complete.  My issue is that i need to identify what is causing the empty box and how do i get rid of it so that teh script can complete.

The code that i believe is having the issue is below

Regards, Alan
