Check the Connection String in this file:

C:\ProgramData\SambaPOS\SambaPOS4\SambaSettings.txt

It should look similar to the following, but adjust accordingly for your Data Source, User Id, Password, and Database:

<ConnectionString>Data Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS; User Id=sa; Password=sambapos; Database=SAMBAPOS4;</ConnectionString>

We need more information. Are you running SQL Express or LocalDB install? If you can not get your connection string to work then go to C:\ProgramData\SambaPOS\SambaPOS4\SambaSettings.txt delete SambaSettings.txt and restart and enter your correct connection string.

I believe i am running localDB. I installed today(just to try the software) and realised that the samples were included in the DB. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and am now reciving that error.

You probably installed as Local DB then uninstalled and reinstalled without Local DB so now its trying to find a db that doesnt exist. The only Sample data included is a very basic menu… you can just delete the menu. Just reinstall with LocalDB checked.
