Urgent!!! - Create form to do invoicing (rather long, but important message)
To any person(s) who is kind enough to help me with the following problems.
I am an inexperienced developer and would like to create a form which
enable me to do invoicing. I am using Access Ver 2.00 (windows 3.11)
The form will have these fields: Order ID; Product ID; Ordered Qty; Ordered
Amt($); Shipped Qty; Shipped Amt; Shipped-to-date Qty; Shipped-to-date Amt;
Backorder Qty; Backorder Amt; Invoice ID and Invoice Date.
Upon opening the form, this is what I want the program to do; see
illustration below:
STAGE DESCRIPTION FIELDS* / ENTRIES
OID | PID | OQ | SQ | STD | BQ
(A) Enter a valid ORDER ID, related
details appear on the form (as many
product ordered) 1 2 10($10) 0($0) 0($0) 0($0)
(B) Perform 1st invoicing with such info
entered 1 2 10(10) 2(2) 0(0) 8(8)
(C) ..... at later date, when enter same
ORDER ID, the info
shall be updated to show...... 1 2 8(8) 0(0)
2(2) 0(0)
(D) Perform 2nd invoicing with such info
entered 1 2 8(8) 3(3) 2(2) 5(5)
(E) ....etc...., until all orders had been
shipped and invoiced.
Note: FIELDS*: OID = Order ID; PID = Product ID; OQ = Order Quantity (Qty);
SQ = Shipped Qty;
STQ = Shipped-to-date Qty; BQ = Backorder Qty.
QUESTIONS:
Q1 How do I get the program to display information as at stage (A)?
Q2 How do I get the program to update the information when at stage (C)?
Q3 Based on the illustration above, what are the underlying tables that I
need to support this operation?
These are the various problems which I would very much like to solve. If
you can help, I would most happy to hear from you. My email address is
Best Regards
