Sample database

Jun 16, 2005 2 Replies

Hi! Before migrating from Quicksell I want to play around with the sample database. Information as to how to load this dbase is no where to be found in the user's guide...Am I missing something?



try the administrator programs help file for instructions

In Administrator, Go to File-> Connect.

  1. Server is "(local)", password is the one chosen by you, DB is "master." Press OK. The Admin screen should go back to the "blank" screen.
  2. Go to Database-> Create. Click Next.
  3. For the DB name I recommend all lower case. Initial size is fine. Click Next.
  4. Leave the DB Growth screen at defaults. Click Next.
  5. Next, select the Backup file. It's "rmssample.bck" located at c:\Program Files\Microsoft Retail Management System\Store Operations\DBFiles. Click Next.
  6. Click Finish the create the DB.
  7. After the DB is created, go to File-> Configuration.
  8. Set the server to (local) again, set the DB to what you named it, and enter the password if needed. Click "Test Connection." If the connection is fine, press OK.

You should now be ready to go into Manager. Login is 1, Password is password.

Good luck, Matt
