    Printing report on POS printer

    I downloaded the driver (TSP600) for it and it seems to print pretty well. The only negative part about it is that I cannot increase the bottom margin. It's minimum margin is 5.172 inches. The printer somehow knows when the lines of text is short. It will stop and cut the paper. However...

    Sorting data in forms

    This might be the simplest question I've ever asked in this forum. Is it my imagination, or you cannot sort your records based on a field that has number as datatype in MS Access 2010? If I recall Access 2003, you can sort and group your records like you would in reports. Am I just missing...

    Remote access to mySql

    I just received confirmation that becuase it is a shared hosting platform, it does not allow remote database access. That really sucks. Now I have to use phpMyAdmin, which is not user-friendly at all. Does anyone know a good hosting company that does allow remote access to MySQL database?

    Question POS System with MS Access

    Hi, What are the primary reasons why I should not consider using MS Access to build a Point-of-Sales system? I am not too proficient with VBA, but I can get around and I can create the heck out of forms. I understand mySql is much more robust in terms of database, but it is just not that user...

    Printing on receipt printer

    I have programmed to print a receipt on a receipt printer. I do not have a specified length of the receipt as orders vary in the quantity of merchandise purchased. Does anyone know how I can code it so that the last text is the end of the report and the paper is cut off right there?

    Short cut to insert text

    hmmm. The code doesn't seem to work. Do I need to set the property of the form to something first? Also, I'd presume KeyCode, 77, is "M"?

    There is no standard. I want the user to be able to enter several text like, "No mustard", "No ketchup", "No salt"...the options are endless. I also want to be able to include "extra lettuce", "extra pickle"...I just want to minimize the typing as much as possible for the users.

    Short cut to insert text

    Is there a way to assign some short cut controls that will insert certain text into the field the cursor is in? For example, is there a way to assign "No mustard" to Alt-M, so when Alt-M is pushed, "No mustard" is inserted to the field.

    How do I create it in VB that I can set an OrderID to 1 for the very first order for the day, then generate the OrderID to add 1 for the following order? I'd presume I have to create it in a public function? It should be simple, but I'm jut not there yet in programming VB. I would appreciate...
