So lots of aggravation, threats etc about the upgrades so let us try to put things in perspective :

From a Customer :

I don’t want the update, because 4pos alway works perfectly without update.  Could you please teach me to disable the automatic update option. 
Regards frank


Our reply :

We are not going to disable the upgrade options as we are improving on functionality….

For example, some of our customers are now reaching the magical number of 32,878 GRV’s in their database so we had to change that.

You will possibly also get an error in the future due to that. Without the upgrade you will email & we would not know what version you are running & whether an issue has been resolved….

So, 20 emails later we will simply tell you to upgrade….

So, no change…

We have customers that run versions from 2002, 2007 etc. Every day we receive emails with “errors” then to find out that it is an issue that was resolved years ago!

Can you imagine how many thousands of times we had to do a "repair" on an old MsAccess database? We have given - free of charge - a MsSql database as part of 4POS.

Any tech can testify that this is a MAJOR improvement...

Question from a customer :

I have not been able to do any database repair after your last login? When I want to do it by the maintenance i get this error when I want to go in.after ok, i do the data repair but  nothing pops up after, no database repair done or anything. I want to do a repair, I keep getting errors on the controller.

Answer :

Your system is now running a Microsoft Sequel database & no longer a Microsoft access database so 4POSMaintenance no longer works.

If you are getting errors on your 4POSController that refers to MsSql problems, it is most likely due to the Mssql “service” that has stopped.

This is often due to your computer going to sleep or the HDD that has gone to sleep. (Ensure your power management is totally turned off - in fact go into advanced & check all the options especially for HDD)

1.   Restart your PC
2.   Open the 4POSBackoffice to ensure the Sql service is running (The 4POSBackoffice will force the service to restart)
3.   Open the Controller
4.   If that still fails – (which I doubt) : Control panel – administrative tools – services – go to Sql Server 2012 & restart.

Support4POS (12:50 PM):
ok - lets recover the backup
No backups on the 5th
Trying the first backup on the 13th...
@Scrapbooking (12:52 PM):

Ok - all transactions recovered, backup fixed & monthend done...
Now recovering transactions for October
Support4POS (01:31 PM):

You need to capture invoices from the 5th.
Bear in mind that all products created, price changes done etc since the 26th (Backup recovered) will need to be re-done
@Scrapbooking (01:32 PM):
thank you,
Ok got that, just to be clear i have to do a back up to external say once a week just to be safe
Support4POS (01:34 PM):
Yes, you can do that manually by copying c:\4pos\backup to your external drive
ok?
@Scrapbooking (01:35 PM):
ok will do so and in future I wil READ AND RE READ the file description, and not ASUME that it is correct in the first place
Support4POS (01:35 PM):
