You will need to perform Jet Compact for the Aldelo’s database
ALWAYS BACKUP your database before you do anything with it
1. Shut down the Aldelo for Restaurants on all stations.
2. Navigate to your database (default location = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users \Application Data\Aldelo\Aldelo for Restaurants\Databases\Live).
3. Right click on your database and select “COPY”.
4. Right click on a blank spot in the same window and select “PASTE”. This will place a new file in the window named “Copy of yourrestaurantname.mdb”.
5. Right click on your database and rename by placing a number in front of the name (ie -1yourrestaurantname.mdb).
6. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Aldelo\Aldelo for Restaurants\JetComp.exe (in newer versions C:\Program Files\Aldelo\Aldelo for Restaurants\Aldelo for Restaurants POS\JetComp.exe).
7. Click the three dots after the Source field
8. Find your renamed database and double click on it
9. Now click the three dots after the Destination field
10. Choose the same database with the name change
11. Now put your curser in the Destination field
12. Remove the number from your database name that you added earlier
13. Mark the 3x database format and click “COMPACT”. If you get an error message click “OK” and mark the 4x database format and click “COMPACT”.
14. Wait for the blue line to go away and it to say READY in the lower left hand corner.
15. Exit the Jet comp program and launch the Aldelo for Restaurants.
Note – if you receive an error message on both the 3x and 4x formats your database may be beyond repair. You can try to repeat the steps above or revert to your most recent backup.
