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

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?

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

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.
