You affect the effect. Affect is a verb(action word) and effect is a noun(thing).
Here are some proper examples from my answers and their questions on Advicenators, found using Google:
-So What I want to know, is if the switch thing is going to affect me.
-After you reboot the xorg.conf changes should take effect. (This is the correct usage. Effect is still being used as a noun.)
-Here's a video I made demonstrating the effect
-this [is a] guide on how to use CSS to full effect
-there is a major security issue with Vista, and that will affect sales
-It will only affect your lip area, and might not be permanent
-it's never enough to affect your health.
When you are completely clueless about whether or not to use effect or affect, use effect. It's still incorrect, but it looks better.
