[Question] Sage Xpress v14

[SPOTTIE]

Good morning

Hope someone can help. We have done a yearend in the same company. Now we want to reverse the yearend and rather do a yearend into a new company. The problem is we did not do a backup.....

Is there any way we can fix this?

Kind regards

Hi Spottie

Eish, that is a difficult one. No I am not aware that you can roll back.

But you can do something else if you want a new company name. You can create a new Company folder in your C:\Xpress18 folder. For instance if your current company says C:\Xpress14\MYCOMP19 and you wanted it to be rolled into C:\Xpress18\MYCOMP, you can create a empty MYCOMP folder in C:\Xpress14. Then go to your current rolled over MYCOMP19 folder and select all files in it. Copy all the files and folders.

Go to the new empty folder MYCOMP and paste all the copied files. Open your Pastel click "Add a company" in the "Open company" window. Click "Add company" in the "Sage registration" window and locate your new C:\Xpress14\MYCOMP.

After adding it you will see it come up in the original "Open company" window. Click on it. The password will be exactly the same as the old MYCOMP19. So now you have a new company with your new name already rolled over and can continue as previously.

If you follow this route I strongly recommend you unlink the old MYCOMP19 on all user computers as they may get confused and process in the previous company resulting in wasted time / capturing.

Hope this is clear and it helps.

All the best!
