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!

Outlook/Excel/VBScript error

Asked by m1kal in Outlook Groupware Software, Automation, VB Script

Tags: outlook, excel, vbscript, vba

See related question/attached snippet. I got this script for Outlook folder statistics in May, and it was running fine in Outlook 2003.  Since migrating to Outlook 2007 (12.0.6316.5000), the script has refused to work. When trying to run it, I get "Compile error: User-defined type not defined".  The VBA editor highlights the line "Sub ProcessFolder(startFolder As MAPIFolder, dataRecord As Excel.Worksheet, first As Date, last As Date)".

I disabled the macro security, so that should not be the problem. There recently was changes to the mail server (All my mail was migrated from one Exchange server to another, I think), but I can't see why that should change anything.

Any suggestions are most welcome.
