I have also setup it up new and also get the same thing.

I know it is not my setting as I just set a basic system with just a stock table.

Dale do you have any idea what the problem is ??

Dale,

the funny thing the program would not crash it would be ok if you pressed enter a few time when it came up. will test this and let you know if I find anything. I am very suprise that no one else has reported it. Is it only me and you that test this program ?? :lol:

Tony,

The problem was I had to do a last minute fix and to do so I had to put in a breakpoint that would display some values and freeze the program until I pressed [ENTER] so that I could read the values.

I made the fix and then forgot to remove the breakpoint.

Sorry,
Dale

That not the problem it the fact that no one else has reported it.

Maybe every one is sick from eating to many ester eggs except me and you who only ate one ;) ;)

I am unable to print all the pages of the journals during the close... both my registers (on a network) only print the first page, although the entire close report (all of the day's transactions) shows up in the aprint4 window... ???
And when I print the Global close, I only get closing balance, is this the correct report from Global... (I just set-up the network with the issue of this new version)

Thanks in advance

I have also noticed that every opening receipts print out at the end of the day (when I print front the journal.txt file), which created quite the report when I first used the program trying to set it up for networking :)

I, too, get the same screen as Tony after the end of every sale only on my main computer, which has the Global folder.

Hi mrdmng ,

you need to down load the software again and extract it into the folder where you have pos software on the main computer.

This will cause you no problems. I had to do it and it will run with no problems just make sure that you do it when the other computers are off and the software is not running on the main computer.

mrdmng,

I just closed out the register here using APRINT4.EXE and a printer port setting of FILE: and it printed out the closing receipt followed by the entire journal with no problem. You say that the entire journal is sent to the APRINT4.EXE window but it is not printed? Weird. Can you send me a copy of your journal file here so I can try to print it? What are the settings you have entered into the "Journal" feature of the POSCONFG.EXE program?

A journal is a LOCAL phenomenon meaning that sales are only stored in the journal from that register. On the GLOBAL register only the opening and closing of the register will be in the journal because you cannot ring sales on the GLOBAL register.

This solved the problem I had at the end of a sale... Thanks Tony
