The dreaded "time clock" feature.

XP Home edition doesn't allow restricted users or the "guest" account to adjust the date/time properties. Double checked that myself.

at my work, which i cant disclose (legally) when we clock out, we get a clock out slips on the printer assigned to the register we are clocking out on.
When we break out, we dont get a slip; neither do we if we clock in.
Anywho, heres how we do it.
Hit TIME CLK on the reg.
a keypad pops up (touch screen)
type in your pin - say 53 or 657 (pins can be 1-5 digits)
if your a manager, or your name is "Protected" you are prompted
for a password (which is not echoed to the screen)
another box pops up
----------------------------------------------
|Clock in | Break Out | Clock Out | Exit |
----------------------------------------------
then you hit the appropriate button.
if you hit anything but clock out, the window dissapears and the action has
been performed
If you hit clock out, a clock out slip prints:

XXXXXXXXX Corp.
ADDRESS STORE #

**********************
CLOCK OUT SLIP
EMPL: MNGR:
Burke Schuster

07:00 - 15:00B
15:36 - 20:00
**********************
[end]
So, your name is in EMPL,
the currently logged-in manager's name is in MNGR
the B beside 15:00 shows that it was a break.
if you clock out and in more than once in a day, it may look like:

07:00 - 15:00B
15:36 - 20:00B
21:00 - 01:00
OR
07:00 - 15:00
15:36 - 20:00
21:00 - 01:00

I usually clock out for breaks, so mine looks like the bottom one.
the receipt uses any time you were on the clock from 3:00hrs one morning to 2:59 the next morning. So if you close, and get off at 1am, then your other time shows, insted of:

XX:XX - 01:00

on your las clock out slip.

Intresting.. It Could Be Somewhat Like That I Think But You Wont Use A Touchscreen.

I'm new to using POS but I set dos emulator to not allow alt+tab and alt+etc... combinations in the properties under the misc tab. BTW I'm using Win XP home.

Guest,
Why are you using a dos emulator. Trash it, the real DOS is already
on your XP machine. Just unzip the DHPOS files into a folder and
double-click pos.exe

Thanks, Tech

actually if you wan't to get technical, the nt platform(nt4, 2000, xp, 2003)doesn't have dos, it has dos emulators which is why some machines will run it, and some machines won't. that is also why some nt platform machines will run dos programs and some won't

XPH and XPP both have dos and a dos equivelant.
Go to start>run
and type "command" for DOS
go to start>run
and type "CMD" for the faux dos.

Some admins decide to restrict the use of real dos.
Either one will run dhpos

The dreaded "time clock" feature.

If DHPOS had a time clock feature would you use it?
