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!

If conditional not working

Asked by sammySeltzer in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Greetings again,

On the surface, the code below looks simple enough but for some reason, it isn't working.

History, I have 2 conditional if statements. The first statement checks to see if an ID already exists on the DB. If no, then it allows the user to create one.

If one already exists, the user is given a friendly message that the ID s/he is attempting to select already exists,

The other conditional is that if an ID already exists, is this ID the mainID. MainID is determined by either a Yes, or Y or 1 (the number one).

If this ID is the mainID, the user is notified and asked to either change the ID from being the mainID to just a regular ID and then make the current ID the main ID or make the currentID just a regular ID.

The Problem.

2 problems exist so far.

1, I don't get the message that says, an ID already exists. All I get is that the ID the user is about to enter is the mainID.

A bigger issue, though and this is the second issue, is that even if I try entering a completely new number that doesn't exist on our DB, I still get a message that this is the mainID.
What is wrong with this code, please?

Many thanks in advance.
