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!

MIME format and file save dialog question ... again

Asked by dovholuk in Active Server Pages (ASP)

ok. so i've got to be mentally challenged. could somebody help out a mentally challenged "expert"? for the life of me i can't force a download dialog box to pop up when IE (haven't even bothered with netscape) knows the MIME type and tries to open the file in the internet browser...

here's "all" i want to do. click my link to an .asp page that picks the "right" file (call it a.doc or a.xls), and prompts the user to open it from current location or save to disk.

i KNOW it's doable, i just can't for the life of me make it work.

full credit will only be given if someone provides the code. i won't accept hyperlinks.

this MUST be simple... i've looked all over the net and i've found nothing that "works" for me yet. *sigh*.

hopefully this question is moronically simple and i get an answer speedily as i'm sick of feeling stupid over this!!! lol! ;-)  the server runs IIS 4 with sp6 installed. i've tried all the answers in the EE db (that i could find that pertain to this issue) and still i can't make it happen. i've tried using an ADO recordset, opening the file using the FSO, and even "including" the file. i do NOT have office installed on the server, do i need to? it seems that ADO won't open the file which leads me to believe that the server needs office installed?

anyway... i'll slide the scale too as i want the answer NOW, if i get a response within:
     - 30 minutes from the timestamp = 200 points
     - 1 hr from timestamp = 150 pts
     - 2 hr from timestamp = 100 pts
     - other = 50 pts..

i'll check back every 5-10 minutes and try suggestions pronto.

thanks
