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!

Run-Time Error '5' invalid procedure or argument

Asked by Moondancer in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: error, procedure, invalid, argument, 5

A fellow Moderator here created an excellent tool for the Mod team which helps us quickly query the database and find open and locked questions at a userid level so we can post scripts and begin the follow-up process in the cleanup effort. He is unavailable for a while and I need some help quickly, so your "comments" are appreciated very much.

The API worked flawlessly until I upgraded from W98SE to Windows XP. I've modified the registry, moved pertinent .ocx files to the proper directory, downloaded VB6 SP5 runtime and installed it, yet the problem persists. I also modified the API (exe) to run in Windows 98 Compatibility mode, but nothing has fixed the problems I list below:

Query the database (uses Power Search) for MemberIDs I know have open Qs, but the results return as zero found, that's problem one.

Query the database for PAQ items, get results, but can't access; get an immediate response saying:
"Run-Time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument"
Then the application shuts down.

Found many hits and bugs by others searching MSDN and MS, most said this was a bug in VB5, fixed in VB6. Since I updated my VB runtime, should have been fixed (one would think), but apparently not.

Thanks for your helpful comments.
