Is there any way to charge credit card from access database when taking a order?

We take reservations and credit card payments for each order entered in to a access database. We normally run the charges on the next day. Now we’re trying to run them at time of reservation. Is there a way to do this from access?

Most credit card companies can provide you with a SDK (software development kit). Usually there is a VB version. So you could write the code in Access to process the credit card.

    Access is for storage.. you could write an app that snags the data from access and processes the charge but from internal to access the answer is ‘no’.

    Side note, why are you using access? It is about as inflexible and doesn’t work well with multiple users. Something like mysql 5.0 would be better in the long run.
