custom POS button

Shoby, What specifically do you want this custom button to do? When you say 'query or small program' what do you mean? This can *probably* be done but more details are needed i think

Shoby, for your first question this is something that could easily be retreived by using a report in manager. I don't think you'll be able to get this information from POS, but will have to be logged into manager.

As far as your pop up screen this could probably be done in POS with a hook of some sort, you could write the code for the pop up window and set it up however you want, and have the code triggered by one of the hooks in POS, for when you add a customer to the transaction, it could check to see if the customer has a price level set up. Not sure but the only hook that may work in this case would be the RefreshDisplay hook, and that could be problematic because it fires alot during your transaction as things on the screen change.

Implement your query in either HTML or ASP and create a POS Button to open in a browser window. The page will open in a browser embedded in the transdaction window - use the escape key to get back to the transaction screen. See the Drilldown.html file installed with RMS for a sample of accessing the DB using QSBridge.

You can use a hook function to display a message for cetain customers, but you can also just edit Status.htm to dispaly your alert there - easier and less intrusive to the cashier...
