I would like to know how tomove the database we use to another computer while we upgrade to windows xp (formating the drive) and still be able to work i have looked in the book but it only shows how to restore..thanks
You first need to do a manual backup of the database. Take the .bck file over to the computer that you are going to be using in the interim. Follow the steps on restoring the backup. Then change where the database points to in the SO Administrator to on that computer to point locally = (local). After changing the setting press the Test Database Connection button if it successfully connects then try opening SO POS and SO Manager. Then do your upgrade and reverse the steps.

Don't forget that you would need to change the Server name in SO Administrator in any other registers or workstations that you wanted to switch to the temporary database.
