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!

Datasheet view and drilldown

Asked by WoodrowA in Access Forms

Tags: , ,

I am using 2007.

Lets say I have a 1:m form, with the one on top and the many down below.  The many part of the form is a grid. In the past, when I have had a situtation like this, and there were more columns than could fit on screen (in the grid) I would just have the user scroll to the right in order to see all the rest of the columns that don't naturally fit on screen, and do data entry that way, from the collumns on the grid.  

But, I think I need a more convenient way of doing data entry when dealing with the grid section of the form. I suppose one option is to give the user the ability to switch to form view for a given row in the grid; if that's possible. I suppose another is to allow the user to sort of drill down, or by click of some button, open up a modal or popup window with the data (for one record of the grid) is in form view; make changes there and when you close the form have those changes show up in the row of the grid that started it all.  Those were a lot of words.  I hope I am explaining myself clearly..

There must be a name for this kind of thing, but if there is, I don't know what it is.  I wish I had some examples or example code to give me a hint as to how to do it.  I seem to remember seeing a reference to doing this in one of my Access 2007 books, but I can't for the life of me find it, nor do I know what to lookup in the index.

If anyone could help or point me to some help it would be appreciated. Start Free Trial
