Somebody pls help.
Am trying to develop a simple invoicing system using VB6 and access 2000. In access I have 3 tables, (1) Products which has ProductID, ProductDescription Qnty and Unitprice.
(2)Invoiceheader with Invoice details,date, Customername etc. and (3) invoicedetails which requires a table and this is where am having nightmares. In the Invoicedatails, we can have say like 10 items and the best way I thought was to use a DBgrid. Unfortunately, it updates the underlying recordset after a COLEDIT. ie every time I want to move to a new row, the recordset must be updated and making any edits on the grid thereafter DOES not edit the recordset. I have not found any good documentation on Flexgrid but am thinking its rather complex using flexgrid. Any ideas, links suggestions or otherwise is most welcome.
 
I am not clear why you are developing such a basic system when all of the desktop database systems (MS Access, Lotus Approach, and Corel's Paradox, and probably Filemaker) include that type of system in their canned examples?? And there are some rather good systems available inexpensively that you could build on rather than starting "from scratch".

One such system that has been available and updated since the mid-90's is Order Desk Pro. Check it out at
