Default build POS system using MS Excel

ADO might be more appropriate since you seem to need two way communications.

DAO/ADO

Since POS systems are written using code, and Excel provides a programming
language, you could certainly code a POS system in Excel to meet your
specific needs. Printing out a receipt should require little more than
filling in the information in cells in a worksheet formatted to appear as
you want to print it, then printing. If you want the data added to a
database, then you would need minimal code to do this.

I intend to make it for receipt printing. I'm having trouble making using

MS
Access.

It's for our photo shop, I want to use it to generate receipts for

printing.

Is it possible to integrate it with ODBC?

Hi Jerome
you may be a little bit more specific about what exactly
you're trying to achieve. POS systems can vary widely :-)
