Richard on 1/1/2007:  Creating a printable quote / invoice. Changing properties with VB code, OnCurrent, CanGrow/Shrink, OpenReport
leroy diaz on 3/11/2008: I was wondering you made a invoice for all the orders but what if you wanted to show all paid orders in an invoice and unpaid with the grand total in the footer how would you do that? i think you should put this in a lesson.
Richard Rost on 3/13/2008: That's coming up in the next class. In Access 305 we make the Accounts Receivable report. Now if you want to take that data and stick it in the footer of the customer's invoice, you could DLOOKUP (Access 302) the total unpaid orders and stick it in there, or use a subreport (something I haven't shown you yet because I don't like to use them - they're like subforms only very messy).
Walter Pohle on 5/26/2008: On invoice report is there any way to Shrink and Grow city,state & zip so that they are closer together time stamp 5:27 on 304 vide 6
Richard Rost on 6/13/2008: Walter, I believe I cover this in a subsequent lesson. You just need to combine them together into one field using simple STRING CONCATENATION. I do it in a query, but you can do it right in the report: CityStateZIP: City & ", " & State & " " & ZIP
