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!

VBScript execute stored procedure with input params and return value

Asked by Nigel_Taylor in VB Script, SQL Query Syntax, Miscellaneous Programming

Tags: VBScript, SQL, Stored Procedure

Hi Guys,

I have the following stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 Express (Please see code area) which takes the brand name and time of call as input parameters and carries out a number of tests to see if the phone lines are open. This works fine in SQL management studio (please see code area) it returns the values that I expect. But when I go to execute it in vbs (please see code area) I get the error message "The conversion of a char data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value". I understand what the error is saying but I am struggling on see what I have to do to fix it. Please can someone advise?

Also I need to be able to access the return value that is returned from the stored procedure. How do I do this?

Also if anyone can see any inefficiencies in the SQL then please shout as I will admit im a beginner.

Hope this makes sense and if you need any more informaiton then let me know.

Regards,

Nigel
