Hi,

Use Crystal Report. Design the Report using all the Lines and Boxes. Connect to the Database. Insert the Table where all the Details are stored. Place the Fields in Respective Columns.
Now from VB, Show the CR..

Hi,

Yes, I know, its a Standard Export Invoice Format. I have designed it using CR. Well the Top Portion Goes into Page Header. Place Lines/Boxes etc..
And Place the Detail Fields (Qty / rate) in Detail Section.

Hi,

I guess, it must have been installed in your system.
In VB Editor check menu:
AddIns >> Report Designer
