Possible bug:
When ringing up a sale and paying by credit the transaction shows on the sales report as doubled.
Ie: 1 x beer at R7.00
sales reports shows credit as 2 transactions total R14.00

Thanks

Robman,

I have also tried to reproduce this error with no success. Does this happen with other pay methods than credit?

When the network version of the program is set to use a network (i.e. you have entered a network PATH) then the program will write the sales information twice, once to the local folder and again to the global folder. If the PATH you have entered is to the local folder then the program will think that the local and global folders are the same and write the information twice to the same folder. Could this be what is happening?
