Dukane,
When you click on the link it says, "Backoffice in DOS written by myself for DHPOS. To install - extract the files in the BACKOFFICE folder to your server POS directory. ** Stock Management Feature now working! ** ", which is totally lacking in information about what the program does.
Through an email I suggested to vxlancin that he post a detailed description of the program's functions. I assume that he is working on it and if you check back in a few days it will be here.

a simple explanation is it opens and runs most of dales programs in one. Such as POS, POSCONFIG, REMOTE, INVENTOR, RECEIVE, PURCHASE and other backoffice related programs

Yep, what cpb14 said is basically what it does. You can access the stock table easily under Stock Management, and can run most of the programs for dhpos. It is lockable (you can put a password on to keep out unauthorised users). Give it a try if you have a minute.

the password can be retrevied by opening the file null.nul in a notepad or any other editor. and The stock table can be accessed by running stock1.exe without a password. You need to stop the program stock1.exe from being able to be run by itself. and the password function needs to encrypt the password and not be stored in a accessable file. It also caused an buffer over flow error when I ran the pos.exe from within the program.

small,
To be honest, i don't think employees that wouldn't be authorised to use the backoffice would know what folder to look in, never mind what file amongst the amount of dhpos files with the backoffice files, and be able to open it with notepad to look at it...just to gain access to the backoffice? If it is a worry then i will encrypt it. What do you mean being able to be run by itself?
