One of the posible solutions: the Macros.Setting up invoices. Would like to have invoice numbers automatically entered when opening template.

You might want to consider doing this with a package which performs invoicing, rather than creating this yourself. Find packages via a web search. Here is one recent review from a respected publisher. You'll find many others.
Writer has no place to store or retrieve the last-used invoice number so that a template can display the next one. You would need to develop a macro system to add that capability. These are often complex. Expect to spend a week or more creating your first macro, more if you're not already a programmer. You could search the forum to see if anyone has already done this. The obvious search term would be invoice.alphonsobellinni wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 10:16 pm Would like to have invoice numbers automatically entered when opening template.
Many color printers supply a dialog where one can choose between color or black and white. I don't know if it's possible for a database report to create one copy in color and one in black and white.alphonsobellinni wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 10:16 pm Also would like to be able to print two copies of invoices, one in color, one black and white.
The easier approach is to repeat the report.MrProgrammer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 6:54 pm ...
