Printable fields in Excel?

[ckad79]

I don’t use Excel a lot, but I am familiar with the program.

This is the deal... I’m trying to create an Excel form for this local
restaurant that I’ve been doing some work for. They have customers call
in to order party platters, so there has to be fields for their credit
card number, expiration date, what type of platter they want and how
many people it feeds, etc. The thing is when they print them off, they
want the printable copies to show everything (the customer’s address,
phone number, etc) but they want the credit card number and expiration
date left invisible), so if an associate looses the form, somebody
won’t have all that personal information but it can still be accessed
on their computer.

Is this possible... to create a form with only certain printable
fields???

Thanks.

Hi ckad79,

this is definetly possible, but my personal opinion would be to stay away
from excel if you're going to put credit card information. excel wouldn't be
the best for this, I would recommend that you use access instead. it is much
more secure when it comes to this kind of information.

just my 0.02 cents....

Storing credit card info is risky business. It's best if you don't store
it at all and have the customer give their card number each time.

They would need the credit card incase the charge is disputed.

I know sometimes, when orders are placed online... the code will return
on the order form as XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX or just the last four digits in
there for record keeping.

I'm going to get Access a try but for the time being can somebody
please explain how to make printable and non-printable fields.
