I have an access database with information such as name, address, item buying, cost, qty etc. This was in excel originally, but I thought Access would be the better way to create the forms I need.
What I want to do is create an invoice that will combine items from one buyer and then allow me to email that invoice thru outlook.
MANY years ago I did programming in dbase--but for some reason I seem to be totally lost here. I have browsed the web, read two books and am still totally confused.
I would greatly appreciate your time in pointing me in the right direction.
THanks in advance.

The first thing you will need to do is to make sure your tables are structured correctly. Have a look at this tutorial and come back with any questions. Normalisation and Table structures

When you do come back (please do), you should try to ask questions of more limited scope. Very few will want to answer a question of the structure :-
How do I do this project?
Individual parts though, where you get stuck, will probably receive more than adequate responses.

I have an Access Application that I would like to have a report print on
pre-printed Invoices.
The Totals are in the Footer, but the report prints a different size depending
on the number of line items on the invoice, making the totals in different
locations.
Is there a way to precisely set the number of line items for each page, and
print the totals in an exact location?

Dear sir,
Our E-commerce site needs to print out a few 100s invoice a day. I do not
know what is the best way to print invoice. Those invoice has to be printed
on a very precise position on our invoice format paper.
I am thinking about the following to print the invoice.
1. Ms Access Report.
2. ASP.NET web form.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
