I am using an invoice image that is preset and a fixed size. I am trying to lay text boxes on top of this image, but the boxes move around differently when you preview and/or print preview. If this is deployed, then the form prints and all of the text box information prints after the invoice image. Has any one experienced this before?
And one more question, is there a way to make a report a fixed length in size, ie, another invoice that might have 1 line or 23 lines and the total always needs to print at the bottom of the report and not move up the page. Is there a way to fix your report to accomodate for that? I have tried list box, matrix, etc and I am unable to find a solution to this.
Any help with either of these questions would be greatly appreciated!!!
i need to generate documents for customers to sign automatically as sales staff enter their data into SQL. These are invoice style documents. I currently have word templates of the invoice documentation, i just need to be able to add the clients names, address etc into the relevant spaces for them to print off and sign.
I am good with TSQL and writing Stored Procs etc and can easily get the data ready - i just need to find a way to populate the templates in the right places and then save a copy for emailing.
We are facing an issue while creating a word document through BCP utility of MS SQL Server 2005. Ours is the Survey application where there could be various Respondents with different languages who can receive a Questionnaire through mail. Now the requirement is to send the Questionnaire in Word Document which would look like a form having Radio buttons, check boxes and images etc. controls. To achieve this we have written a Stored procudure in MS SQL Server 2005. In this Stored procedure, we are writing an HTML Code in formatted manner and at the end using BCP utility we create a word document in specific folder. Then we attach the document from that folder in mail using sp_sendmail of MS SQL server 2005 and send it to the Respondent of the Survey. 1> The issue we are facing here is when the Respondent receives the mail and opens the word attachment, it opens the document in designer mode where controls(Radio Button and check boxes) are not clickable. Hence Respondent is not able to fill in the document as a form. However Respondent has to click on 'Exit Designer' button in the menu to make it as interactive form. The requirement is when Respondent opens the Word document it should directly open as Interactive form rather that clicking on 'Exit Desinger' button on menu. 2> Secondly when we create a word document, there are some images that need to be shown as seen below. As of now, in HTML code we have given a path of the Web Server as '<http:WebServerIP/images'. However we would like to know whether there is any way to Embed the images directly in the Word Document rather than referancing them from the Web server path.
I have an exiting excel workbook say master.xls. Now I need to dynamically create and append a new worksheet to the above master.xls every month end using the Reporting services.
Could you please guide me how dynamically creating the worksheets task can be achieved using the reporting services?
Your any guidance or help in this matter will be highly appreciated.
hi! i actually have more than question related to the SQL Server 2000 1) On my system I charge users for using an online service (SMS ) and I have a monthly fees charge and monthly allowance usage so if they exceed the limit I can also charge them for over usage this is an example for a rate that I have in my Rate Table
Rate Id = 1 MonthlyFees £10.0 MothlyAllowence = 100 sms/ month Extra usage = 0.12 p for each extra SMS
The system should calculate the monthly invoice from the registration date so if you register in 14 April the invoice will be generated every month at the same day (15) each month.
Now! I need to generate and calculate the invoice …..Where shall I do the calculation? In the Business object Layer or in somewhere else? And for invoicing the client every month I might have 20 clients and each one might have different day so the billing should be auto generated also what properties or methods that can calculate or check monthly related to the day so it will run in the way like the phone bill!! any advice is appreciate it!
Please i have created some tables Delivary with this columns (DelivaryId,DelivaryNo,QtyRecieved,DelivaryDate,ProductId) and Product with this columns (ProductId,ProductCode,ProductName,ProductPrice) as you can see the product table keeps record of products whlie the delivary table keeps record of stock supplied. I will like to create another table that will keep record of stock sold out (Invoice Table) based on the qty recieved from the delivaries table
Just seeing if people have any suggestions for me on this problem, i am trying to produce some form of invoice for a company and finding that cursors if the best method due to having to format the invoice using sql server. However i have come across a problem in a section where i need to have the invoice address and a shipping address i am finding it hard to sort out the spacing for example
Now the problem comes that for space reasons I have the datatype for the variables as varchar mainly but when running the report obviously its a problem that it appears disjointed
eg.
Alex JohnsonAlex Johnson 16 Stobson Street 16 Stobson Street Leeds Leeds LS12 6GHLS12 6GH
Now is there a way that this can be sorted like should I us char() datatype to specify the lengths,
Also is there a command the insert spaces instead of just using the quotation markers ' '
I have a invoice that displays the company name in a rectangle on top then it has a list in the list it has details tables my problem is that the invoice detail goes on the next page I need to have the company name as well on the second page I cant put it in the same table as the detail because I have a few tables in the detail so it is actually no header is it possible to have Repeated the Company name information on the next page?
I need a bit of generic advice about a project I am currently working on which is slightly out of my comfort zone. I€™m using SQL 2005 and VB.Net to develop an application that produces invoices for a number of different countries. The issue is that the data is arriving from an AS400 system so the tables I am working from are a little strange! This results in a fair degree of work tweaking the data into a format that is useful for my application.
To simplify the explanation each invoice in its basic form consists of the invoice data and the line items (so there is nothing new here). What is unusual is that the invoice data has an invoice number but then an additional invoice number specific to the country it is destined for. The initial invoice number arrives with the data from the AS400 but the secondary number is generated according to a number of business rules.
I have written an update query in a stored procedure which updates the invoice data with a number of values from a secondary table and a number of calculated values. There are several functions, one in particular which looks up the new invoice number from a secondary table based on specific criteria (country of destination being one of them) and I had intended to write an update query, called from within this function which then increments the invoice number but I have since found out that you cant do an update/delete from a function?
I can€™t add an update query to increment the value after the initial update query as this results in the stored procedure running through and adding all the invoice numbers (which are the same) and then the number being incremented at the end.
I assume I can€™t call an update query from within the initial update query so that the increment takes place after each loop of the initial update (if I can what would the syntax be?).
I have tried writing a trigger which completes the increment when the invoice data is updated. I haven€™t used triggers before but once again it appears as if the first update query is running through and completing all the updates and then the trigger fires incrementing the number. Or have I just got this wrong?
I guess what I need is a trigger which fires after each row of the table is updated which was how I assumed it should work!
Ironically I could write this in VB.Net with ease but for speed we need it within the database.
What is the best way to increment my invoice number?
I€™m sorry of this is general in nature but im really looking for some advice as to the best approach to deal with this issue.
I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.
I have a requirement to generate Invoice system for 1000 customers. how to create a report or SSIS Package to auto generate invoices everyday as per the start date of the customer.
Can anyone advise if it's viable to send order invoice reports to customers with SQL Reports.
I have a well formatted report that accepts an order number and generates an email to the customers address but i'm struggling on how to batch send this. Each order record has the email address to send to.
In our orders table I have a 'sent' flag so can easily write a query to bring back all orders that need sending. I just can't work out how to automate running the report for each order. Then after the report has been run for that order it needs to update the 'sent' flag.
Possibly this can work with a SSIS package that does the initial selection and updating of the flag but i can see how to run a report server report from an SSIS package.
I have a report that prints 20+ invoices and I need a page break after each invoice.
STEPS TO REPRO: 1) Create a report to show an invoice (one row of data) using a query that pulls 20+ rows of invoice data. 2) Table Properties | "Insert a page break after this table" is checked.
Hay Friend's Can u plese send me the way how to save image in sql server and display that images in datagrid or other control also like Image control or Image control Button?? Plese send the coding in C#. Thank's Amit
Ok, the problem is that , i have a field called "Attach" in sql of type image, when selecting it , the field is getting data of type BYTE(). which am being unable to display them on an Image on the panel.
using the following vb.net code:
'Dim sel2 As String
'Dim myCom As SqlCommand
'Dim conn As New SqlConnection
'Dim drr As SqlDataReader
'Dim image As System.Drawing.Image
'sel2 = "select * from attach where att_desc = '" & DropDownList1.SelectedItem().Text & "' and doc_code = " & w_doc_code & " and subcode = " & w_doc_subcode & " and doc_num= " & w_doc_num & " "
If you will I am trying to join a master invoice table to its detail records. The problem is I can't quite get the records to match correctly. There is a master record that has the net total of the invoice that corresponds to however many detail records for that invoice. I am attempting to get the records to line up in a query. I am having trouble because the key fields match the total up with each detail record. So for example in this record set below the 3825.75 value appears for each detail record so when I total the invoice column the figure is way too high. The detail has a 4462.54 and a -636.79 for a net of 3825.75. I tried to line the example up for better illustration. I copied it off a pdf and I am trying to replicate it programmatically.
Hi all - struggling a bit with this one... I have made an accounts application and need to make a report called "Aged Debtors". It lists all of the clients with outstanding invoices and breaks them down into periods:
current (this month) period 1 (last month) period 2 (2 months ago) period 4 (invoices raised 3 months ago or more)
My tables are as follows (simplified)
Clients clientid int clientname varchar(100)
invoices invoiceid int clientid int invoicedate datetime cinvoiceamount decimal(19,2) paid int (1 = paid, 0 = unpaid) paidamount decimal(19,2) (how much of this invoice has been paid)
I need the following columns in the report
clientname invoiceid current period1 period2 period3+ test client 1 £100 - - - 2 £50 - - - 3 - £100 - - test client2
I can format all the report using a matrix in SSRS so just need the stored proc to get me going - any help greatly appreciated! Thanks guys, Stephen.
All I have a table full of invoices and in that table there is a field named HCC. An invoice can contain multiple HCC's. I also have a table named hierarchical codes (below is an example)
(COL1)HCC...........(COL2)If any of the HCCs in this column exist on an invoice along with the HCC in column 1 then use HCC listed in column one 1 2 3.......................4 4 6 8.......................9 ,10 ,11 ,12 ,13
[code]...
I want to return invoice 1 with HCC set to 34 since the hierarchy for when any of these HCCs (35 ,36 ,37 ,38) exist on an invoice along with 34 is 34.
Can you help me with SQL issue I€™m stuck on? I wish to take source data that looks like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
0
6658
2
6658
8
7721
2
7721
3
And rebuild the line numbers like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
1
6658
2
6658
3
7721
1
7721
2
This seems completely impossible to me. So I was thinking that maybe a second procedure using update could be run against the table after the initial build.
I have learned lots of informative thing from your forums. I have little problem regarding “Display image from SQL Server on ASP.NET� I have done it and image display on my page from SQL Server. I have cleared you here I have adopt two different methods which are following for displaying picture.
but in both above methods I have faced little problem when image display on my page all other information can not display and I also want to display picture on my specific location on the page. My second question is can use any web control like “Image1� to display image from SQL Server where my pictures are stored.
hi,i have inserted the image present in mydocuments using alter commandcreate table aa(a int, d image)insert into aa values (1,'F:prudhviaba 002.jpg')when i doselect * from aai am getting the result in the column d as0x463A5C707275646876695C70727564687669203030322E6A 7067how i can i view the image?pls clarify my doubtsatish
In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?
