I just installed the MS POS 2.0 on a brand new HP (w XP Pro) with a sample database. Now I am ready to delete everything and start my own store's DB. However, even though I deleted all 3 copies of the sample databases I previously created (via Tools>Dayabase>Delete) I still see the sample database items and configuration specifics. How can I create a clean DB for my store? What is the meaning of Db in MS POS? Is there a non-listed DB somewhere that does not get to be listed in the DB list (for deleting)? THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE.

HI, how you make deletion, by using the delete transaction from the menu if so then it won't delete any masters information of item,supplier, customer etc.

OR you have ran the database queries to delete if so what were these, send me I will c> I just installed the MS POS 2.0 on a brand new HP (w XP Pro) with a sample

Delen,

You should be able to create a new database from Manager View, by going to Tools -> Database -> Create. In the Create Database Wizard make sure you choose "blank" instead of "sample". After the database has been created, you'll need to change the connection to use the new database. Close the application, and when you restart, choose "Change Connection" rather than logging in. Here, you'll enter your server name, and then choose the new database. I hope this helps.
