Hi and welcome to the site,

I would write your sentence as follows:

Please inform all the members so that it (the problem?) can be solved as early as possible/at the earliest possible moment.

Thanks Alan

So am I to understand that "at the earliest" is wrong or odd?

Sounds a tad odd to me, Tom. I think you need the earliest 'something' but of course it's quite common to say: 'at the latest'.

Hi pkj303,

Have you read Alan's post to you? I'm asking because you have spelled "you" incorrectly again although Alan put the correct spelling in bold. Also, you probably know that a sentence starts with a capital letter and that proper names are capitalized too?

Try avoiding obvious mistakes by changing your spelling habits. Words like "thanx" don't exist in English. It doesn't make much sense asking about grammar issues if you ignore basic spelling and punctuation rules.
