V5 Question
1

I am lost one again, I have installed samba v5 with 2014 server I think. Now how do I setup the windows tablets to connect to the main computer. Do i need to install server express?

Used the search button but v5 and v5 confuses me. Sorry.

SambaPOS will only install LocalDB. For multi terminals you have to install SQL Server Express 2012/2014.

the best way to use 2 windows tables is using RDP . tho u will have 2 install win server to have multi remote connection cause win 7 can have 1 remote connection only and u will have to download sql express 2014 server to share data between users so the pc and 2 tables work on dame database

I wish to use local db via the windows tablets without RDP, so do I need to setup SQL express?

local db is just that ‘local’ you will need sql to run multiple terminals from the same database.

Yes you need SQL express full install. SQL express localdb will not run multi terminal.
