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!

Microsoft, Access, 2003, VBA, Make a record found in a recordset the current record of a form

Asked by Greg-C in Access Forms, Visual Basic Programming, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: , , , , ,

I'm teaching myself how to use recordsets

A form, frmRecordset has a single command button, cmdRecordset, and a text field, txtName
This form uses a table, tblProspect, as its Record Source.

tblProspect has three fields:
   hPhone, a double precision number storing 10-digit phone numbers
   NameF, a string storing prospective client's first names
   NameL, a string storing prospective clinet's last names

cmdRecordset successfully bookmarks tblProspects recordset for the matching phone number find (see code).  
By filtering the form's source with code (as shown) the form displays data from the seek in txtName (=[NameF] & " " & [NameL] & " at, " & format([hPhone], "(000) 000-0000"), but the form is now limiited to a single record.  This is fine for some things.
How can I make the frmProspect's current record the same as the matched recordset record, so that, after examining the found record, all other records are present for frmProspect to navigate through.
