    POS or cash register on a form

    I am considering creating a form to use as a cash register or simple POS system.
    Do you know where I could start looking into this? are there any templates or sample code I could refer to?
    Using access 2003 version

    thank you in advance

    There is a lot more involved than 'creating a form' - need a properly structured relational database. POS has been topic of numerous threads.

    Hi,
    In the retail world most pos systems are linked to a backoffice system, it is that you may have to interact with.
    The P.O.S. part of it is the interface to the bank providing the service for the retailer, during a transaction the pos equipment is used to debit your account, the store operator also has to record the tranaction on their own system, usually via a linked cash register. That would be your portal to the data.
    Try searching for OPOS systems for more information.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
