SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

We are using Sage Accounts V12 network version in the local network. After creating new company in the server, the SELECT COMPANY list used to show the newly opened company name when i opened SAGE in any of the client PCs. But lately it does not show the name automatically anymore after creating a company. Now I have to browse and specify the directory manually. I have no idea what caused it. Do you guys know anything about the way to change it back into the previous state? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

The paths to the data are stored in a plain text file in the installation directory.

go to the installation directory and open the file called COMPANY (no file extension) with note pad.


I suspect there is some rubbish in there. It should be a list of the paths to each set of data.

Clean it up and it should be fine, (make a backup of the file first)
