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!

Need vbscript to Act on Checkboxes on Sheet

Asked by ddotson in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: vbscript, basic, visual

I have a form that is used to monitor the activity of numerous individuals.  Each individual is listed on a row.  The various activities are listed in columns.  Each activity has three checkboxes (The activity takes up three actual columns, with each checkbox in its own column).  The first checkbox indicates when the individual was assigned the activity.  The second indicates that they have started the activity.  The last indicates that they have ended the activity.

I need the first checkbox to display a msgbox when checked.  The text for the msgbox needs to come from a specific cell on the second sheet.  This cell will contain instructions on completing the activity.  Ultimately, I would like the text in that cell to read something like, "[Name], please go and pick up thirty boxes of paper at the store".  When the user checks the checkbox, the msgbox would popup, display the previously mentioned text, but would replace the [Name] with the person's real name (which is listed in the first column of the main sheet).  There are alot of ways to accomplish this, I'm sure.

Second, I need the last checkbox to disable (gray-out, whatever) the first and second checkbox.  That is, when the individual completes the activity, I want the first two checkboxes to be disabled.  The user should be able uncheck this box and have the other checkboxes re-enabled.

Lastly, I want a button at the top of the sheet that resets all of the checkboxes.

A few notes.  Each individual will have thirty checkboxes.  There may be up to 40-50 individuals on the form.  I don't want this to be too slow, so any input on this part of the design is welcome.

I'm asking for this help, because I don't understand how Excel or Word implement Visual Basic.  I'd love to learn, but I don't know where to turn.  The answer to this particular question is not telling me where to find out, although that would be appreciated.
