Creating an invoice using C# 2008 & MS Access

Question

I have created an inventory control & sales system for a local shoe showroom. One customer can buy one or more shoes at the same time. Each purchase must have a receipt to be issued as an invoice to the customer.
At the same time the data will be saved in an MS Access database table. I have no any doubts about the saving data within MS Access database.
But I have a question that how can I be able to print such an invoice to each individual customer using Crystal Report?

Actually I am concerning about that how am I able to extract the data records that owns to a single customer? The most recent customer that has purchased the shoes?

What it sounds like you are struggling with is how to know who to print the invoice out for. You put the data into the Access database and then you need to print an invoice but you aren't sure which invoice to print. My recommendation would be to put an indicator value (a true/false field in Access will work) on each invoice entry that indicates if the entry has been printed. Then, you simply print all the ones that haven't been printed and then mark those that were printed as printed. The end result is that you don't have to figure out or guess which customer needs to have an invoice printed. You just print the unprinted ones.
