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.

From MS Access 2000 to Visual Web Developer Beta 2

Asked by williamebanksIII in Miscellaneous Web Development, Web Development

Tags: web, developer, subform, visual

Greetings all,

To be brief, a few months ago I created a nice MS Access DB to assists employees at my company with ordering office supplies. I was told after much effort that access didn't work well over our company wan. Now I am trying to create a web based verison of my Access form and I am extremely confused by all the MS software that is available for this purpose.

I have been goofing around with Visual Web Developer Beta and think that this may be the direction in which I wish to go...yet the transition is some what difficult. I know how to setup the Database yet I'm not sure of the controls/ code that I need to use...let me explain.

I need a simple form with controls to identify the user(Dropdownlist)....what building(This could be autofilled by the dropdownlist...and a textbox that generates an incremental number after the form is complete or at the beginning...In MS access the next part of the form would be a subform...not sure what to use or how to do this in Visual Web Dev.

The subform would contain 6 controls...
the first would be another dropdown list(ProductID numbers) a description text box(Autofilled by the Dropdownlist)a textbox for Quantity...a textbox for Cost(Autofilled by the dropdownlist) and lastly a textbox for a linetotal(Quantity * Cost).
In MS Access the subform would generate additional "rows" as needed by the employee...I'm fairly certain this is not possible in Visual Web Dev but I might be able to fake it using a grid or table...

Lastly a command button that would print out a copy of the final form when the employee has completed the form.

Also I would need to be able to review the past "forms" so that they could be filled and shipped after the user has completed them.

If anyone out there has even the slightess idea of what I'm talking about and can point me in the direction of some books, online help or examples that I can review and learn from this would be a great help! Please understand that I do not wish for someone to do this for me I want to learn how to do this myself.

Thanks in advance!
