Sage 50 and ESET anti virus software

October 5th, 2011

One of the most popular articles in our Support  Knowledgebase is the article entitled “How to configure your anti-virus software not to conflict with Sage”.

As a rule, anti-virus software can have a serious impact on the performance of Sage 50 running on a network. In the aforementioned article we outline how, in general, to configure anti virus software so that it doesn’t conflict with Sage. This blog post is an add-on to that article since we would like to specifically mention ESET anti virus software, a package that we have found popular with many of our support clients.

We would like to thank Des from DM Computing for his input to this article. He has devised the best way to configure ESET and passed it on to Synergy Network.

First of all to access exclusions you have to enter “Advanced Setup” – see below.

Then we recommend that you exclude all local Sage directories (as opposed to file extensions) and also your mapped drive to the Sage data (in this example s:).

Follow the rest of our original support article for advice on making reports run faster by creating a temporary reports folder on your computer.

Sage 50 Data Corruption – Fix button

August 3rd, 2011

It has come to our attention that many of our support clients, upon finding “errors” in their data when running the check data routine, attempt to fix the data themselves.

Our advice is proceed with caution and if you have a support contract with Synergy Network, please call us first.

If you do decide to click on the “Fix” button, ensure that you carry out the following checks…

  1. Backup your data. Newer versions of Sage 50 will force you to do so.
  2. Check the number of transactions in Sage. You will find this in Help->About. If the number of transactions changes after clicking on fix, (even if your errors are fixed) you must restore the backup.
  3. Check the aged balance warnings. You will find them in the warnings tab when you run File->Maintenance->Check Data. If the amounts change or if they were not present before fixing the data, you must restore the backup.

Basically if the fix routine results in zero errors but you now have a different number of transactions or postings to your creditor/debtor control accounts, you data is still corrupt. You must restore an error free backup.

For more information on Data corruption in Sage 50, please refer to our Knowledgebase articles.

It’s accounts people, not the herb!

July 18th, 2011

I was delighted to come to the assistance of the eminent food critic and novelist Jay Rayner on twitter a couple of weeks ago. He posted a Sage accounting query along the lines of  ”explicit question:can anyone explain why, when I click on an item to delete from the corrections list, the delete button is not highlighted?”

The solution is of course that he was trying to delete a journal transaction. You cannot delete journals – you have to reverse them.

If you would like to contact Synergy Network on twitter, you will find us @synergysligo.

Jay Rayner @jayrayner1 writes for the Observer and you can read some of his articles here...
