Attention Sage 50 v13 users

August 16th, 2010

You may recall that a month ago that we posted an article on Sage 50 and .NET Framework conflicts. At the time we were still gathering information on how this issue would affect Sage users. Today we came across this issue affecting a Sage version 13 aka Sage 50 2007 user.

Everytime the client exited Sage 50, he was encountering the following error…

v13NET

Sage Ireland have issued a fix for this issue, again caused by updates to the Microsoft .NET Framework (most likely via Windows updates). If you encounter this problem, please ring Support on  071-9146815 and we will install the appropriate fix on your computer.

Sage 50 and Microsoft .NET Framework Conflicts

July 21st, 2010

We have recently become aware of Sage 50 software conflicts with the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.x and higher. This conflict has manifested itself (so far) in clients being unable to run their daily “check data” routine and Excel Integrated Reporting no longer working.

The issue arises from the fact that Sage 50 accounting software is based on Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.x. If a later version is downloaded to your computer (via Windows automatic updates) for example, and installed,  it can cause a conflict with your Sage software and cause it to behave in unexpected ways.

At present we are recommending that if you have  Windows Automatic Update turned on, change it to  either the “Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them” option or the “Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them” option.  In this way you can choose not to install any Microsoft .NET Framework updates.

If you intend to install any new software please ensure that if it uses the .NET Framework 2.x or lower. Internet Explorer 8 is an example of software that may need to be uninstalled from a machine that is using Sage.

As usual, if you have any queries or need any assistance please contact support@synergynet.ie.

Direct Debits with Sage 50

May 4th, 2010

Announcing a great way to collect money from customers in conjunction with your Sage 50 accounting software!

We have recently installed Direct Debit software for one of our key clients. It is written by Sage Developers and integrates fully with Sage 50 accounting software. The direct debit software creates an EMTS file from the customer invoices you wish to have paid. The integration with Sage saves you recording the customer receipt and subsequent allocation.

Persuading your customers to sign up to direct debits is an excellent way to improve cash flow. All you need to do is talk to your bank about becoming a direct debit originator.

For further information on Sage Direct Debit software, please contact James Doyle, jdoyle@synergynet.ie or phone him on 071 – 9146815
