Samba crashes!

[andys49er]

Samba shuts down when I select a printer template and press "edit".  Also crashing when I select a report to view.  An error report comes up and it asks me if I want to send to Microsoft.  Any ideas/suggestions?

Hi Andys, are you using TXT database? If so read this. http://doc.sambapos.org/doku.php/en/dbase/samba

How do I tell if I am running on a TXT database.  Not sure... This is my first attempt at setting one up.  Downloading SQL Express now to see if that works.

Look at the end of the version number on login screen.
TX means TXT, CE means SQL Compact and SQ means SQL Express

[andys49er]

I'm running SQL Compact.

I need to see an error message to be able to understand the reason.
There is a sambadata2.sdf file under my documents / SambaPOS 2
Send this file to info@sambapos.org
I'll try to find the error.
Thanks.

Ok, sent with subject "Andys49er error"  Thanks!

Hi andys49er. I tested your file on my computer and it works fine for me. The only similarity between report viewer and the printer template editor screen is the document displayer component that we use for displaying formatted data. This component is included in .net framework 4.0 so reinstalling it sholud solve your problem.

Hint: If you want to test it on a different computer copy that sdf file under mydocuments / SambaPOS2 folder and you'll be able to see your data.

Thanks.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled .NET Framework 4.  Now I'm getting another error message on startup. 

Error Message:
Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider.  It may not be installed.

Since you are running SQL Compact 4.0 you can try reinstalling it.

[andys49er]

OK, did that and got it running again, but still crashing when trying to view reports or edit printer templates.

Can you try installing that?
