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!

Code does not seem to work in excel 2003 & Dialog box error if "no", "cancel" selected

Asked by clarabe in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Hello again

I have two issues with the attached code

I tested the break links code at home on excel 2007 and it worked fine - however on 2003 it returns:  Run time error 438 " object doesnt support this property or method. Indicating the line ".BreakLink Links(i), xlLinkTypeExcelLinks"

I have also updated the SaveAs code to close the saved file and reopen the original workbook. All works well unless the file already exists with the same name. The user is asked if they want to save over the existing file -  If they choose "no", "cancel" or cancels out of the box without selecting anything the code fails. Run time error 1004

Any ideas what the problems might be would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Cb
