    Pastel problems anyone?

    I have successfully upgraded to Version 18 on Pastel Accounting

    Bought the new package and installed etc. Now i have run into a Network mapping problem which i just can't seem to get to figure out and boy oh boy
    it appears as if Pastel is now non-existent. I have been trying to phone them since this morning, to no avail.

    Anyone here who would be willing and able to help me out?

    We are only three users. So after the installation on my pc, which is also the server, i wanted to go and add the programme to the other 2 computers.

    I just can't seem to get it done.

    I have tried the instructions from the Pastel online help but no success and i can't get hold of Pastel.

    I will be very thankful if someone here could help as the other two people are waiting to get to back to work.

    Hi Anneke,

    At what point in the procedure do you get stuck? I take it that it installed alright on your computer and that everything is working fine.

    Has it installed on the other computers? Are there any error messages?

    Good Morning, Mike C,

    I have only seen the reply now. Looks like our mails were a little slow.

    Everything went well with the installation and the conversion of the data. However, i can't seem to get it installed onto the other two computers.

    HI All
    How do I Update an older version of Pastel Xpress (11)'s VAT to 15%. Any pointers and/or where I can find tutorials?
    And What other programs are in line with Pastel's function? (Preferably more user Friendly ones please)
    What is the going rate for an upgrade package?

    Thank you for your advice in advance

    Hi Ilze
    I would suggest you have a look at the Sage Pastel website for upgrade options and find a dealer for prices.
    I think Quickbooks is an alternative, people seem to either love it or hate it.

    This is a known issue for V14, V17 and V18 after installing the VAT Update.

    The workaround that I have used is to uninstall any previous versions of Pastel on your computer, and then to reinstall V17.

    Hi Anneke,
    I just googled Pastel Fixes and found this Forum. Did you get your problem solved , we have exactly the same issues, we managed to download on all the PC's but Pastel is so IN-OFFICIANT now, and Sage just dont have any interest in helping us, I don't think they can fix the issue
