    PASTEL V14 LOSING COMPANIES

    Hi please can anyone help me. I have upgraded from Xpress v11 to Advantage. When trying to convert the company I am getting an error 70 code. The conversion happens but I am worried about this message. Now it is asking me to change all the passwords in my advantage and use Alpha, numeric and a special character. It also keeps losing the companies when I log out of Pastel and I have to add the company again. Once in Pastel all is working fine but I am going mad with the constant losing of the companies. Please, please can someone direct me on what is happening I am tearing my hair out.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You have indicated a number of issues, and they may not be related.

    Firstly, the error 70 message indicates a permissions issue. Are you running Pastel over a network?

    Secondly, the stricter password requirement is a new feature introduced in Pastel V14, and is not an error.

    Thirdly, what Windows operating system are you using? If it is Windows 8, is it Windows 8.1?

    Hi everyone
    I have solved my problem.
    Just wanted to share what worked for me in case anyone else has this problem.
    I copied the company to another folder
    Then deleted the company within pastel
    I then made a new company
    Logged into it to make sure was ok
    Then I copied the contents of the old company folder to the new company replaced all the files in the destination folder

    My problem solved.
    I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

    Ciao
