billing
hai ,
I have two listboxes
listbox1. contains all the names of the treatments
listbox2 contains all the drugs name.
now the doctor has to check the listbox1 and listbox 2
to do billing.
All the drugs are quantity 1. i have given option by inputbox if he wants to increase the quantity then double click near the appropriate drug and add quantity for the drugs.
So far no probs now i should do billing can anybody tell me how to do billing in a very simple way.
ASKER
hi CArnold
yes ofcourse
printing bill, first to display and then print.
it should look like this
Treatment name quantity cost
massaging 10
drug1 1 .99
drug2 2 1.78
-------------
i think all these can be done in a text box itself but i havent got a clue.

What you want to do is create it in a VB's Data Report Writer. Use the Data Environment to create your connection to the database containing your information. Using the data explorer, you can drag-and-drop the SQL command object responsible for collecting the billing information onto the report.
After dropping the command onto the report, it will automatically become populated with textboxes and respective captions.
You may also manually insert each control onto the report, but I find doing so very tedious.
You don't necessarily have to use the Data Environment to create the report, but if you're trying to do this in a hurry, I would reccommend it. The alternatives (using ad-hoc SQL, calling stored procedures from a module or form based connection) would require more explaination to use and is kind of quirky.
You can display your report (Print Preview style) with:
DataReport1.Show
This command will display your report in a Print Preview-type window. From this window, you can click the print icon to print, or you can close the window. To bypass the Preview, just use:
DataReport1.PrintReport
The report writer is a banded report writer. To eliminate banding, I suggest creating a large Detail section.
The best way to learn the report writer is just to play with the properties and methods associated with it. I would also reccomend you learn the Data Environment, as well, if you are new to either. They are really simple tools and not that difficult to learn.
Hope this helps! If you have any further question, feel free to ask.

Sorry for the delayed response,
iam using only crystal reports to do my rest of the projects, hope we can do this in crystal report, but i think instead of going into reports we can do it in simple vb coding itself.

Burgerking,
I would like to assist, however your last response is open to interpretation. You make two comments that are contrary to each other:
"iam using only crystal reports to do my rest of the projects"
and
"i think instead of going into reports we can do it in simple vb coding itself"
Which approach will you be pursuing?

Thats true what you said i would like to do this billing with simple vb coding, what i want to do i will make much clearer , for each treatments that has been checked from the list view the billing should be done , similarly for each drugs that has been checked in another list view the billing should be done, and all should be batch inserted in to the data base (Access) , and bill should be displayed and printed.
Hope you can help me.
I see...
I'm not very fluent with Crystal Reports. Our company had a hard time getting it to work on all necessary PCs, so we currently use a combination of Actuate and VB's report writer. More complex and difficult reports are usually handled via Actuate (a marvelous report writer). More simple and less intense reports are handled via VB's report writer.
From the description of what you are attempting to accomplish, I would strongly recommend using VB's report writer.
I'll try to outline what you need to do to accomplish this. Give me your e-mail address and I will try to send you a project that will get you started in the right direction.
