Need Help.

I want to write a Invoicing software with inventory and customer database, Is VC++ good for such software, or do i need to look at someother compiler.

I can use MS ACCESS itself but with access, to run a database invoice program, one has run MS ACCESS first.

IF i was to use VC++, is there a posibility in printing invoices using MS-DOS driver, because i have noticed that window driver takes about 4-5min to print one invoice on a DOT-MATRIX printer.

please say something....

It depends on the user requirements. You're probably best sticking with Access (I'm sure the developers edition comes with a compiler that lets you use the MDB files as standalone).

If the program you're creating is going to have a lot of specific functionality that cannot be found in any generic database system such as Access then I suppose you could use VC++ - Or perhaps Visual Basic (unless speed is an issue).

Don't re-invent the wheel, though. It would be a waste of time to completley write your own database system in VC++ when there are already hundreds of products out there that will allow you to configure them to your needs. Regards,
