if memory serves me correctly this is in System Configuration CTRL + PGDWN to get into System Setup I believe the percentages associated on the cashouts is held within the category setup ALT + H for the help screen in system configuration are very helpful & may provide the answer. Before...

Has anybody considered using Remote Desktop that is built into Windows? There is printer sharing and drive sharing built into this.

We use Infinity POS within our liquor store. It has been very stable and quite easy to use thus far. I'm not sure if it would be useful in the bar portion or not....I'm thinking it won't.

Can you make sure you are doing a normal shutdown at the end of the business day. You should see the day save and then a program called "dataconvert" should run, converting your sales data into the SQL reporting database. If you don't see the dataconvert program running at shutdown (possibly...

The workstation that does not work: - does it say "loading program page 0" on it and just stay there? - Is it highlighted on the Host Processor Log Screen after you start POS? I know you probably have done this many time -- but can you re-check the connections at the workstation side. Make...

One scam I saw in a hotel was a bartender would stop at the liquor store on their way into work and buy a bottle of rum -- selling drinks out of their "own" bottle all night for cash -- pocketing it. This didn't appear on inventory as it was their own bottle. We implemented a sticker system...

Your Squirrel Host PC (POS Server) is full of sales data that needs to be backed up & removed. Buy a box of floppy disks and "mark" them all for backup by going into Housekeeping>Backup & Restore>Mark Backup. This puts a tiny file on the floppy disks to indicate that they are squirrel backup...

out of balance was probably caused by a price change on an item after it has already been sold before the price change You would need to examine/adjust this servers checks in Cashout & Revenue and find the cheque that is out of balance -- then correct it. Then you correct their cashout in...

If this doesn't work -- then you can rename the CACHE.DAT and CACHE.IDX files in the Squirrel\BIN directory to *.OLD (moving them out of the way without deleting them)-- then do the same steps as above (running dealer & config), and try to start POS.

Hi, Go to START>RUN>type in "CMD" and press enter You will be in a DOS window at a DOS prompt Type in SD2 and press enter -- this should take you to the Squirrel\data\tomorrow directory. once there Type in the command DEALER and press enter and keep pressing enter until you are in the...

I should add -- if it's a Classic Workstation -- it is compatbile with all versions of classic squirrel. The only thing that would make it not work is if you used 232 protocol and it was a 422 workstation (visa versa)....

Can you give me the workstation name -- like WS V or WS III? If you turn on the workstation and you get the screen "Loading Program Page 0" then it's a Squirrel Classic workstation that can be jumpered to use 232 or 422 serial communication. If you turn the workstation on and you get...

FCASHOUT.EXE is a datafix utility that only squirrel has to my knowledge. Do you have a split day (2 prefixes) or did you just save the day twice? You could have a look at both prefixes -- the bad cashout may only be effecting one of the prefixes and if it's not a split day, just change day...

Thanks -- but I have had no success with this.

Hi, I'm having issues with DoCmd.GotoControl I have a form called Contacts This form has a tab control on it with 4 tabs (pgeGeneral, pgeShippingAddress,pgeAffilliations,pgeCallNotes) On pgeCallNotes, I have a subform. The control source is a query to table called "call" -- contactID =...
