Will send PM.

Absolutly nothing. that's why I need help. All I have are two laptops and a crss over cable.

Thanks for the help.

Actually it's the inital network setup that I am having problems with.

Thought so. Never mind.

OK thanks.

I was thinking perhaps the ability to add custom fields to the stock list. For example a bookshop may add a new field to input the AUTHOR name.

Easy to implement? A good idea?

Right. Thanks for the help.

Why not call '5. Voids' something like 'Transaction Records' or something?

What do you mean by 'Open Closing Transactions'?

Ah right! It confuses me that Void can mean delete and Void can meen transaction records. Sorry :-(

Just another thing while I remember: On the void list why are some transations kind of standard transactions (similar to the purchase screen) and in a list form (similar to Sales Records)?

Just an ethernet cross over cable at the moment.

OK. What does VOID do? Does it send it to the VOID list?

Thanks.

I am thinking of networking two laptops (both with Windows XP) using the cash register software with an LAN cable, but how would I go about doing this - from the beginning ?

I am assuming you don't just plug in the cable and i'm done. If only things where that simple

What if when I'm in the middle of a transaction, the user makes a mistake or the customer decides not to purchase the item mid-sale. How would I delete one line of the transaction? Or even how to cancel/delete the whole transaction and start again?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks
