How to manipulate LiquorPOS database

John — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 04:17:14 +0000

BEFORE YOU BEGIN BACKUP ALL DATA IN LPOSDATA FOLDER!!!

First we start off with your excel sheet
Then create two new column’s after the product description
1. Information in the database is limited, so we need to shrink it

In the first new column enter, changing only the RED BOLDinformation to the cell that fits your needs

=TRIM(LEFT(LEFT(E2,30),FIND(“^^”,SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(E2,30),” “,”^^”,LEN(LEFT(E2,30))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(E2,30),” “,”"))))))

Then in the second new column enter, changing only the RED BOLDinformation to the same cell you entered in the previous step

=TRIM(LEFT(LEFT(E2,20),FIND(“^^”,SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(E2,20),” “,”^^”,LEN(LEFT(E2,20))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(E2,20),” “,”"))))))

Now select your first colum (ITEM ID) and copy it (CTRL+C)

At this point I have assumed you have Microsoft Office Access, all versions should work relatively the same way (In this video I am using 2010)
You will need to located and open your LIQCODE.dbf file using Microsoft Office Access, should be located in your C:\LPOSData folder

Highlight the first column (CODE_NUM) and press CTRL+V

Now in your excel sheet highlight and copy the first new column you created

Then in access select the column (BRAND) and paste the new information

Repeat the process for the second new column you created

Then go back to access and paste it in the column titled (DESCRIP)

You can repeat this process to add as much data as you need. Once you are finished you will need to run a Routine RE-INDEX in you LiquorPOS software.

Purchasing New Computers: Things to Consider

John — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:13:56 +0000

Whether or not you need to replace your current computer depends on several conditions, including the computer’s age, how it is being used, the type of problems (if any) you are experiencing, and your expectations of its performance. You may also find some new software will require upgraded equipment to run well, and in some cases, to run at all.

When you decide to purchase a new computer, there are several things to consider:

More after the break:

System Requirements: Memory Matters

When shopping for new machines, remember that memory matters most!

Your new computer must have enough RAM to run Windows 7 and LiquorPOS®. We recommend that you purchase computers with at least 4 GB of RAM due to the large amount of memory the operating system alone will use.

To run LiquorPOS 5.2, workstations must have, at minimum, Intel Pentium4 2.0 GHz processor or better, 1 GB RAM available, and 75 MB free on the hard drive. Servers must have, at minimum, Intel Pentium4 2.0 GHz processor or better, 2 GB RAM available and 500 MB free on the hard drive.

Hardware

What kind of hardware (i.e.: scanner, receipt printer, pole display, etc.) do you want to use with the new computer? Does your hardware connect using a USB, serial or parallel port?

In the event you have older peripherals with serial or parallel ports, make sure the new machine has ports for these devices. If the new machine has USB ports and your hardware does not, you will likely have to replace the old hardware. USB adapters may work in some cases, but not all.

Will you purchase a 32-bit or a 64-bit machine? LiquorPOS will run happily on both systems, but older hardware will often not run on a 64-bit machine. In many cases, hardware manufacturers have not created 64-bit drivers for their older models.

To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows, do the following:

Click the Start button
Click Control Panel
Click System Maintenance
Click System; under System, you can view the system type

Software Key

While you are replacing hardware, you must also consider what kind of LiquorPOS sentinel key you have. Many LiquorPOS users may still use a parallel key, which must be replaced. USB adapters DO NOT work with your LiquorPOS key. You can return your parallel key and purchase a new USB key by contacting us at 720-785-4664.
