Hi Butch,
1. Yes for my store we have 2 registers and this one is not syncing.
2. This is a "new" setup with Windows 7 pro 32bit. (replaced XP Hardware)
3. RMS 2.0.2018
4. Sql Server 2008 R2 Express with Backwards Compatibility installed. I have followed all of "Jeff's of Check Point" suggestion for setting up Sql Server 2008 R2 Express found in this forum.
5. The POS connects to the primary database and I can connect to the offline as a (local) primary database if I switch it through SO Admin. But of course there is no data in the data file because it won't sync. So currently I switched back to the primary active database and am not using the offline feature until I can sort this out.
I looked at the kb article and I believe I am following the procedures. I have set up all my other registers (2 stores using HQ with total of 5 POS') with no issues, and all are identical hardware except a few are 64bit processors.
I was hoping for a solution to avoid uninstalling sql 2008 express, but that might be the correct action to take. Let me know your thoughts and thanks for your input.
