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!

Lotus Notes: Copying data from one database to another when fields don't match

Asked by maggieball in Lotus Notes

Tags: lotus, notes

I need a button on a form which, when pressed, creates a new form in another database, copying data from one set of fields within the form being created to another. The simple "copy to database" action would be perfect if the fields matched. Unfortunately they don't, and there is a lot of existing data in both databases so I can't match them. However, the field types do match. So basically the button needs to create a new form in the new database and take the information from field a and put it into field b, etc. I have about 5 fields, and although the data type matches perfectly, none of the field names are the same. I'm not conversant with Script (though I'm using Notes 6), so would prefer a formula, but if script is the only option, could you possibly provide the whole script formula with something like "field a copy from" and "field a copy to" in so I can replace it with my data with a minimum of knowledge. Thanks very much for your help! I think that the question is an easy one (for a decent programmer rather than someone like myself!), but perhaps a little fiddly so I've given it 125 points.
