Remote viewer

My bad Dale. I have a very high screen resolution because I hate screen hoggers (apps that use too much of the screen space). So the images fit perfectly on my screen leaving between half and quarter of the right hand side free

Here is a slight upgrade to "POS Viewer"

It requires a new version of POS.EXE which is included in the above download. So you should be using POS version 6.08 or later before you download this file.

I have decided to return to Crocker's name for the program so it will be POS Viewer. However the file name at this time remains REMOTE.EXE

New features...

Lines are time stamped.

Discounts, reductions, coupons are listed in yellow.

Price over-rides are listed in cyan (light blue).

Transaction number is printed near the end of the sale.

Wow, its been a while since i posted, been moving.
N e how i think that this is a great idea Dale, You should move forward in this and maybe bundle it with the pos releases when you work out all of the bugs (assuming there are some because of program age)

Dale I've Noticed that you have been adding some great features here and there. I was wondering if you would consider another? I don't expect you to do it for nothing, so name a price as I know your time is valueable!! As being a network user of POS I would like to place a small PC out on the sales floor where customer's can scan an item to find out what the price is. Kind of like when you sell an item from the purchase screen where you scan an item and the price is displayed. That's all the program would need to do is just display the price. Is this a possiblity?

Thanks Chas

Chas,

Yep, I can do that. How about if I send it to you and you send me what you think it is worth?

Maybe a week to get it done.

Cool Suggestion Chas

Price Checker for DHPOS.

A cool idea indeed.

Kmart in New Zealand had/have a similar setup where they have little stations equipped with a pole display and a barcode scanner scattered all over their stores for customers to check prices.

Dale,
Sounds good to me, thanks for taking the time to do this. Just let me know how much time that you spend working on this project.
Thanks Again,
Chas

I was making a Price-Checker software out of an Microsoft Access Database, But it wasn't going very well. I started, but I had a problem with looking up the Stock Table record. Anyway, Someone Else can use the name I came up with and my logo. I had a good name for it, I called it DH-SaleLink.

Bye For Now,
Chris

Chas,

Ok, here is something new. This program http://keyhut.com/lookup.zip will allow customers to look up prices and quantity in stock on networked computers on the sales floor.

How about some beta testing? Check it out, report back.

Works great! Idea - I know you can check the price of something by going into a new sale etc but...

Would it be possible to display just the box to scan an item and get it's details etc as a popup tool in DHPOS - like the calculator?

Keep up the good work!

WOW!! Dale thank you so much for taking the time to do this!!! How long did it take you to do this??? You did your part now I will do mine!!! $$$
Better then I could have imagined!! Works great!! I love the part where you can leave a message\directions, or advertisment for the customer. Password feature DOES work as long as it is a word and not number's. The only thing that I did notice is that when you choose black and white mode some of the menu items don't show up ie, 1-5 at the main menu!! Color mode works great!! This nifty new utility is not only handy for customer's but if you have vendor's and stock people they can use it too.

For those of you who are looking into a Networking Solution for DHPOS, I am putting together a couple of pages with links and directions on how to network using various networking software and operating system's. I am also currently working on a DOS Menu System to keep DHPOS and all it's Addon software, (Remote Viewer, Price Checker, Journal Viewer) in one place to keep unauthorized user's out of the command prompt.

Chas,

This is just the kind of BETA report that I need. I will work on the color and password thing and post a new version tomorrow.

This took about 8 hours of work. I stole a lot of the code from existing parts of POS and then just pounded on it to force it to function.
