Program will not open

We were using the program just fine  - needed to reboot the computer and when we tried to open Samba we get the following -  

 

Format of the initialization string does not conform to specifications starting at index 28 - -

C:\Users|DOT COM BACK YARD\Documents\SambaPOS2\SambaData2/sdf

Nothing was installed - nothing was changed - Not sure what to do - do not want to lose data 

We are using Samba POS 2

If that is your connection string above, it is not a proper windows path. 

You can always search for SambaData2.sdf and put that path into the connection string. 

Unfortunate - I am not supper technically minded  - enough to get myself into trouble - LOL - - I searched for sambadata2.sdf and could not find - I see a number of Samba dll but not this one in specific -could you provide more details -

The final tag window that open states this    Programi yeniden baslatiniz. Mevcut problem log dosyasna kaydedildi.

It crashed rght in the middle of operation during our Kar a oke night  - there was noting installed - or changes made to the system.

Looking forward to a reply and THANKS for your assistance.

If you go to Documents and SambaPOS2 folder, is there a SambaData2 file?

Are you using only one pos terminal?

from what you have described, your SambaPOS database file is missing. 

Yes the file is still there - I have copied it hoping to recover the customer numbers in the system - I then uninstalled Samba - - checked updates on windows and rebooted the computer and downloaded new version - once this was done - I tried to open the new program and have the same error,
