Is it possible to create something like a reciept

[Digitalised]

You might have seen my other post where i rudely ask for help ... but im wondering if it is possible to create a receipt or something in access

its a strange question

--------
to go back to the concept of databases

a database is similar to, but not the same as, a series of spreadsheets, with each spreadsheet storing a particular type of data. In Access the tables represent these spreadsheets

having developed the data structure, you can then process the data in any way you wish

but basic operations are

- add new record
- modify records
- delete records
- select records
- join records from one table with those in another

in the latter cases, having selected a number of records you then process them however you want - display them in a form, in a report, send as an email, etc

so if you want to produce a receipt of some sort, then of course you can.

Gemma is absolutely right but for a short answer one of my databases issues a recipt/claim form in the form of a report which draws its data from a query on the underlying tables.

The only drawback is that the receipt is A4 size, not a problem in my case but maybe not what you had in mind.

You can of course use a custom size paper, providing the printer supports it,
I use A5 which suits my needs
