Multiple SambaPOS running on single computer with different connection string.

<< < (2/2)

JohnS:
The Sambapos settings file is linked to your user account for Windows. It doesn't matter where you install it. It actually resides in the c:\programdata folder in Win7 machines by default.

SAMBA USER:
Thanks John. Let me try another way.

Samba User

JohnS:
If you need simultaneous access to multiple installs of SambaPos you can try this.

1.. Setup an RDP Server on your network (remoting into the same computer usually doesn't work thanks to the new version of RDP)
2.. Create the new user accounts and RDP in as each user and make sure SambaPos is working
3.. Copy the SambaSettings.txt file from C:\ProgramData\Ozgu Tech\SambaPOS2 to C:\users\{user account}\AppData\Roaming\Ozgu Tech\SambaPOS2\ (if Win7) to make this instance unique to other users and rename the original file so it is not used
4.. RDP back in and change the connection string to connect to a new/different database for each user

Using my Server 2008 step 1 works but will only allow 2 RDP sessions by default.

Hope this helps.
