Sage 100

For those who have not had the pleasure of a Sage 100 2016 upgrade yet. - When each workstation is setup for the first time there is a prompt to use ""classic"" or ""standard"". This happens regardless of the keys and whether the keys enable the new UI. - The default for the above UI prompt is ""standard"" which if the user enters through and is not entitled to will lock them into the wrong UI where they cannot navigate (nice). - I think this one has been around for a few earlier versions (my upgrade was from 2013). Apparently the Sage MSCRCW is not smart enough to detect when you've commented out the bad formulas ( formula = FetchStringVar(""PrintGL"") , formula = StoreStringVar(""PrintGL"",{@PrintGLDistribution})) in the AP_Check. The first time the user goes to print they'll be prompted to update the form, at which time MASCRCW takes over --- and promptly barfs on the bad formula even if you've commented out the issue.

- 2016 also installs an expiration date for payroll (presently 4/30) if the customer has payroll

Wayne: what is the solution to the 2nd bullet point - uninstall/install and be careful next time? Can security be set to not allow the user to select anything but Classic if that's all their entitled to?

on the local workstation - go to the c:\user\(user name)\My Documents\Sage 100 Delete the \Sage 100 Restart Sage 100 and it will prompt again for the type of desktop Note: This appears to tie your selection of desktop UI into your network login. Probably not a big deal since most people don't go to another users computer and login to Sage without also logging into the network as themself.
