Hi there, I have only just started using Sage and getting a bit frustrated with the report designer. I have Sage Instant Accounts 2011 v17 and run on Windows Vista.
I created a product invoice in the report designer as I needed something a bit more personalised with logo... and saved as .layout in company data (.000). I can access it, edit it, modify it... whenever in the report designer, however I cannot seem to be able to access it from Sage itself.
When trying to print a customer invoice, there are only a few invoices available in the report browser but not the one I created!
I've obviously gone wrong somewhere but after hours of fiddling about, I've decided to give up and ask for some help.
If anyone knows what I should try or do, please please let me know!
Thank you!!!!

Re: Creation of new invoice with Report Designer
Your invoice layout should be saves in the layouts directory above the accdata directory
First open the Data directory by going to Help>About>System information>Directories>Data Directories and right clicking and choosing the option open folder.
Go up one level and there you should find a directory called layouts. Save your invoice layout in that directory and it should appear in Sage 50
