Order Summary
NOTE:
Move the cursor over the picture of the form. When you see the little hand
thingy
appear, you can click on the item to get more information!
This invoice is provided as a sample report. You may well wish to modify it.
Consult the Microsoft Access documentation for information on how to modify
reports. One good thing is; it's much easier to modify an existing report than
it is to create one from scratch...
Company Name:
From Company Name in the
Settings
form.
NOTE
: to show a logo on your invoice instead of the company name (presumably the
logo includes the company name), put a file named InvoiceLogo.gif in the Logo
directory in the Installation Directory, e.g. C:\Sat
Tracker\Logo\InvoiceLogo.gif. A useful trick:
-
use your favorite paint programto create a bitmap of your logo
-
use Microsoft Word to design a full logo with your company name and the bitmap
image.
-
Use Insert:Picture:From File for your bitmap image, and Insert:Word Art for the
company name.
-
Save the document as a web page. Word stores .gif images in the directory in
which you saved the web page.
-
Overlay the two images (hopefully, your favorite paint program can do that).
-
Convert the logo to .gif (your favorite paint program can probably do this).
