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!

Running a Execl macro from vbs via scheduled tasks leaves EXCEL.EXE process running and Excel file as read only.

Asked by killswitch in VB Script

Tags: , ,

I created a vbs script to open a Excel file which runs a macro and updates the sheets. The vbs script runs fine if you just run it. The Excel file opens the macro runs and the file gets updated and closes. The problem I am encountering is when I run the vbs file from Scheduled Tasks it opens the file, updates the
sheet but it leaves the process EXCEL.EXE running and if you try to open the file it can only open as read only. I have tried putting in a sleep thinking a delay would hlep, and I have looked at user/file permissions. I am using Excel 2000, Access 2000(used in the macro), on a Windows 2003 server.
