We'll begin by adding the Ship Date to our
Order List Form.
We'll add an option box to the bottom of the
Order List Form to show Shipped Orders and Unshipped Orders, plus
a sort method.
We'll create a Packing Slip report showing
the items packed. You can print this out to be included with your
shipment. (Yes, I know... the screen shot here shows the report before
it was cleaned up nicely, but you should know how to do that... it's
just some simple formatting).
Next we'll make a button for handling Returns.
This basically cancels the shipment and puts all of the items on the
order BACK into inventory.
We'll write some code to deal with MANUAL
items, which are items you need to ship that aren't in your product
table.
Next we'll make a form to collect the shipment
information, such as the ship date, method, and the tracking number.
Once we have that information, I'll show you how
you can launch a web browser to track a package with one click:
You'll learn how to launch a hyperlink to open
your web browser and look up a package on the UPS, FedEx, and
USPS web sites.
