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!

Use VBA to designate folder/filename saving of word mail merge result.

Asked by lvbarnes in Access Coding/Macros, Microsoft Access Database, Microsoft Word

Tags: , , ,

Hello.  I am using Access 2003 and Word 2003.  From a previous question I have the code below which is opening a Word mail merge document, producting a protected mail merge result, and saving that to a folder/filename.  I need to adjust this code so that the folder and filename is referenced from fields in the access database tables.  Many account execs will be creating contracts for different clients and I would like those to be saved in specific locations.  I'm fairly new to VBA and the integration of Access/Word, so I'd be happiest with code I could cut/past/adjust references.  The code below did require me to add the Microsoft Word reference and apply the Microsoft patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825765.
Thank you,
Lawrence Barnes
