Okay, so say that I want to receive into stock 10 of an item whose cost has changed.
Do I first go into Manager Control\Products\ProductControl and change the price in the record then use ManagerControl\Products\AdjustStock to update the quantities?  Or can one change the quantity field in the record when updating the new cost?

After having put this on the back burner for a while I am re-visiting my attempt to run ezPower13 on my office machine.
The machine is running Vista.  The server is running Win7.
I have updated the file c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts so that the IP address are correct.
I delete the c:\Users\Public\Public Documents\DR13\LocalFileNames file.
I launch ezPower POS13 and am prompted for a Register#, which I enter as "5" which is not being used.
After a few seconds with a "Progress" window displayed I receive the ezPower Main menu window with that "Generic Exception window on top of it again!

Now, the first time I tried to launch the program this morning the software actually prompted me for the path to the database!  The problem was that the computer which hosts the files, the actual register, was not listed so I could not select it.  The full map in the Network and Sharing center displays the computer and verifies the address, which I manually updated in the "hosts" file.

So, if anyone has an observation that can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

The password requirement has no effect.

However, I have just restored access from that client, my stockroom computer can, once again, access the server.

First:  I uninstalled the ezPower POS 13 software.

Second:  I went to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\ and DELETED the DR13 folder.  This folder contained a single file "LocalFileNames.PLF" which, it appears, was neither being removed during the UN-installation process nor being overwritten when POS 13 was re-installed.

Third:  I ran the installation program that I originally downloaded.  At this point the application prompted me for the location of the ezp folder instead of simply shutting down.  Once I pointed the software to the ezp folder on the server the program launched normally.

So, one problem resolved, two to go.

I was using POS10.  That server was running WinXP and I wanted to upgrade the hardware, the OS, and upgrade to POS13.  I had been using Win7 and Vista machines as clients to maintain the database with no problems (other than the initial setup bugs).

Today, being the first day of having moved all the data files to POS13, I had POS13 actively running on the server.  My "House" machine appears to be working with full access.  The POS13 software on the "Stockroom" machine was crashing with a "Generic Error" until I logged on with a freshly created user account (administrative) and POS13 suddenly loads and works.  I shall look into the differences between the user accounts to see if the problem still exists in the original account or if I can ascertain the difference in settings.

On the "Office" machine I am still getting the "Generic Error" despite running as a new user.  It is also the only machine running Vista instead of Win7. 

Thanks, Ronald.

When I unplugged the USB cable for the MSR I did not hear the audible tones I normally hear when disconnecting a "hot" device, so I plugged it back in... and I DID hear the tones associated with the CONNECTION of a device.  The MSR now works again.

A lesson to all:  rebooting will not resolve a connection problem that requires a disconnection/reconnection of the devices USB cable.

Well, my Bematech MSR appears to have died.  It beeps but imports no data.  I tried re-booting the system but that did not help.  I have scanned the data from a card into Notepad before but that doesn't work either.  I am in the market for a replacement.

In another thread I read "It must read both tracks 1 & 2 (not 3) to be used."

Is this still the case?

Thanks Ronald,

New screen shot sent.  You can see, in the lower image, what happens to the price and cost.
