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!

storing a date with an ASP and MS Access

Asked by avla in Web Authoring

I am trying to use the now() and/or getdate() functions in an ASP to initialize a text box with today's date. This works fine. I then use a regular HTML submit to pass that date through several ASP's before actually committing it to the database. It looks like it keeps the right format all the way until it writes it to my Access db.

Now I have a field date_out defined in Access as a date/time data type. When I look in how it is stored in db, Access gives it a default time (not even a date even though I have it formatted as short date only). This prevents me from searching on a date and just pulling out that field.

Does anyone have any idea why my date format would be lost in there?

An idea. That the submit of the form loses the date format and converts it to a string. Yet, Access will usually give an error if you try to assign a string to a date type, as it has when I try to explicitly use a string.

Any thoughts on this?

thanks. a.
