How do I restore backed up data?
I have small items whose inventories I don't
care to track. How do I sell these items? I need help installing the SQL Server 2008 Express. Why do I get "SETUP ERROR" when trying to install .Net Framework 3.5? My margins are too short on my Sales Reports causing the figures wrap around. How do I reset them? How do I restore backed up data? The C:\REGITEXPRESS\POSDATA\BACKUP
folder contains three backed up databases (inventory, history, and RPOS)
and backed up copies of the Daily Master Sales Report (DMSR). These
files have extensions corresponding the the day they were backed up (for
example, history.5 was backed up on the 5th day of the month). But
be sure to also check the "Date Modified" on the database files to make
sure it is not a backup from a pervious month that was not overwritten
by a subsequent backup. If only having trouble with one database, it is not necessary to restore all databases. Any of the databases can be restored individually (be sure to delete the _log.ldf file for the database you are restoring). This information is for the data backed up by the Regit Express backup utility (to the hard drive selection) or the automatic backup using the 'Green' Shortcut icon. If you back up to another location, the procedure is identical. To restore the secondary store (Store #2) database tables follow the exact same procedures above, but the 3 database names are preceded with a "B" and the folder location is C:\REGITEXPRESS\STORE2\BACKUP.
I have small items whose inventories I don't care to track. How do I sell these items? There are many ways to accomplish this, here is an example. Enter a new product into the inventory database table. Make the product code simple such as an 'm' or 'g' (not case sensitive). For the description, enter Miscellaneous Item, General Merchandize, or just leave it blank. Use Zero for the standard price. To sell the item simply enter 'm' then the correct price when prompted. If you have a lot of items you sell for a specific price, you might use 'm99', for items that sell at 99 cents. Place .99 in the standard price for the item. There is no limit to the number of these you can create.
My bar code scanner scans a different number than is in my database. Virtually every bar code scanner is programmable. For UPC's placing a leading zero in front, or sending or not sending the ending character (check digit) varies widely. If you have an existing database that is different than how your bar code scanner reads, then you should reprogram the bar code scanner to read just the digits you want. Generally, this reprogramming is done by reading a series of bar codes in your bar code manual. If you need help reprogramming the scanner, call the company where the bar code scanner was purchased. If you purchase from API, then call us if you cannot figure out how to reprogram the scanner.
How do you pronounce REGIT? As with many computer names from the early 80's, the name REGIT was derived from DIGITAL REGISTER and we pronounce it as the root syllables are pronounced. However, you may pronounce it anyway you like. Register + digit = Regit

Why do I get "SETUP ERROR" when trying to install .Net Framework 3.5? You will get this uninformative "SETUP ERROR" if the .Net Framework 3.5 is already installed on your computer. An easy way to check is to look in the Windows Control Panel under "Uninstall a Program". It will be listed if it is already installed.
My margins are too short on my Sales Reports and the figures wrap around. How do I reset them? The Regit Express Office's sales reports use Windows Wordpad to display the documents. If the margins are too close together the Reports cannot fit between the margins and will not line up properly. You cannot reset Wordpad's margins while the Window's default printer is set to a receipt printer because the width of the receipt paper is too narrow. To reset the margins:
