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!

Strange problem with date formatting...

Asked by tmss_it_dept in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: function

Hello all.  I have a situation which I hope I word correctly.  I am writing 2 .ASP pages to dynamically create XML for a Gantt chart that I am using, and during my testing, I started getting the following error on one of the pages:

        Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07'

        The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value.

        /charts2/data_gantt_xml2.asp, line 344

I have a main page which pulls XML data from the other two pages and displays two flash Gantt charts, one for the first six months of data, and another for the last six months of data.  The first one is working fine, but the second one is not.   The only difference between the two files creating the XML is the following, in which I am just giving each process a starting point.

These work - (First ASP/XML sheet)

     Month1 = "3/15/2006"
     Month2 = DateAdd("m",1,"3/15/2006")
     Month3 = DateAdd("m",2,"3/15/2006")
     Month4 = DateAdd("m",3,"3/15/2006")
     Month5 = DateAdd("m",4,"3/15/2006")
     Month6 = DateAdd("m",5,"3/15/2006")

These DON'T work - (Second ASP/XML sheet)

     Month1 = DateAdd("m",6,"3/15/2006")
     Month2 = DateAdd("m",7,"3/15/2006")
     Month3 = DateAdd("m",8,"3/15/2006")
     Month4 = DateAdd("m",9,"3/15/2006")
     Month5 = DateAdd("m",10,"3/15/2006")
     Month6 = DateAdd("m",11,"3/15/2006")

Although, I noticed by just changing the amount of the interval in the DateAdd() function down by one it works.  For example, I changed:

     Month1 = DateAdd("m",6,"3/15/2006")  to  Month1 = DateAdd("m",5,"3/15/2006")  .. and so on through the rest of them.  But I did notice that some combinations still fail.  

I even tried this and just changing the month of 'date1' some would work and some wouldn't.

     date1 = "6/15/2006"
     date1 = FormatDateTime(date1,2)

     Month1 = DateAdd("m",8,date1)
     Month2 = DateAdd("m",9,date1)
     Month3 = DateAdd("m",10,date1)
     Month4 = DateAdd("m",11,date1)
     Month5 = DateAdd("m",12,date1)
     Month6 = DateAdd("m",13,date1)

Sorry for the long post, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
