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!

Template workflow assistance

Asked by weareit in Microsoft Word

Tags: Microsoft, Word, 2003, VBA

I have a workflow process with which working with a Word Template, I need to accomplish the following:

Save the Active Document to a predefined location depended upon the users selection in the form.
Close the document.
Open a new instance based upon the template.

The users are opening the template in the standard way (click on a shortcut, recieve a Document1 [2,3,4,etc]).

Currently I have the first two requirements completed.  The Document instance of the template is saved to the location and closed.  But when it gets to the point of creating the new instance, nothing happens.  I understand why it is happening (When the ActiveDocument.Close method fires, it closes the document instance and it's attatched TemplateProject instance leaving just a Normal Template instance running).  I have tried to open a new document instance using a method placed in Normal (really not the preferred way I would like to take this), but this too has proven a little more difficult to accomplish.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
