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!

How to resolve runtime error '50290': Method 'Quit' of object '_Application' failed ?

Asked by zimmer9 in Microsoft ADP, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Access Coding/Macros

I am developing an Access 2003 application using Access and Excel as the front end and SQL Server as the back end database.

I am trying to give the user the option to either SAVE or DISCARD an Excel file that is generated.

In the Attached Code Snippet, when the compiler reaches the following line of code as a result of
answering the MsgBox question: Do you wish to keep a copy of the workbook?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
app.Quit          

An Excel file is opened that has no grid lines and is empty. There is a message box on the Excel file:

Microsoft Office Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action.
OK button.

after the line app.Quit is executed, the following Run time error occurs:

Runtime error '50290':
Method 'Quit' of object '_Application' failed

Do you know how I can close the Excel file programatically and resolve this error ?
