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

Hi,
I have just had to restore line 50 version 5.02 to a new pc however when i try to set up the client pcs on the network i hit a problem.
Basically the programme installs on the client (using netsetup) but when you try to open up sage i get the message " waiting to open file:\\server\c\line50\accdata\queue.dta". Sage then wont open or close.
Im using windows 98, please please help.

Deleting the file \\server\c\line50\accdata\queue.dta should fix the issue.

Backup first. Or better still backup and rename the file so you can get it back.

Note: Version 5.02 is VERY old, you might like to upgrade the current version is 12!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, i have tried deleting and renaming this file however the client pc just freezes and Sage wont open at all, also the server reinstates this file when you start sage again. what am I doing wrong?
Thanks again.

Sorry, I think I just got an idea...

Sage Didn't like UNC naming in early versions.

Uninstall the client first

Map the network share to say Drive S: and then re do your network install from the mapped drive letter...

I assume it runs fine on the server...?
