In some cases where the Order Entry program and the database server software reside on the same computer, a 6420 error will occur of the Order Entry program launches automatically on startup of the computer.

Setting a delay on the Order Entry program startup will eliminate this error.

Using the startup delay

A command line parameter is set to tell the program to look for a startup delay. To set this, click Start > All Programs > Startup, then right-click the Order Entry item and choose Properties from the pop-up menu. Click the Target field, then change the field to say this:

"C:\Program Files\Point of Success Programs\POSOrder.exe -d"

Adding the -d tells Order Entry to delay the program's startup.

Setting the startup delay

Create a text file named posorder.ini in the C:\Progam Files\Point of Success Programs folder that contains this information:

[orderworkstation]
startupdelay = NN

Replace NN with the number of seconds to wait before starting the Order Entry program.
