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!

Get  Run-time Error '424': Object Required when trying to implement an ActiveX Merge Control in an MS Access Project

Asked by 4632474 in Microsoft ADP, MS SQL Server, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: , , , , ,

I have a MS Access project that connects to an MSDE database on the same laptop.  I also have the same MSDE located on a server.  Merge replication is set up between the two and is currently controlled using Window Synchronization Manager.  Works good.  I want to place merge control in the Access project so that the endusers only need to use the Access project to initiate replication.  I'm using the ActiveX Merge Control to try to do this.  I found an article in SQL Server Magazine that uses the attached code.  Listing 1 is a classmodule that allows access to the merge control's Status Event.  Listing 2 is the merge replication function.   When I run the Replication_Merge function in the VBE Immeadiate Pane I get the Run-Time error 424: Object Required.  The 4th line of listing 2 "Set Merge_Control = New_Merge.SQlM" is highlighted yellow when I debug.  The contents of the article are also attached.
