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!

Automate Sending a Query as an MS Excel Attachment on a daily basis

Asked by medic2069 in Access Coding/Macros, Microsoft Access Database, Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , , ,

Hello.  I would like to have the following process execute everyday after midnight with no intervention from me:
1. Run an existing MS Access 2000 query.  (This database resides on one of our network servers).
2. Send this query as a MS Excel attachment to two recipients via MS Outlook.

Please be explicit with your directions, I have little to no background with code and the "Access VBA for Dummies" is only helping a little :).  What little code I do have can be found below.  Thank you.  Start Free Trial
