  • 1.  If you don't select to install demo data - what is the secret to getting into a new Sage 100 install?

    I'm sure I am overlooking something.
    If I don't install demo data during the initial Sage 100 install -- how do I get into Sage 100? 

    From memory, probably faulty. I don't think Sage lets you go anywhere until t you get past the "select a company code" prompt.
    Maybe that has changed? 

    And if the answer is that you can't get into Sage 100 without having at least one company code - shouldn't there automatically be a check to install ABC or one of the dummy companies?

    Open the Admin panel and create a company code there.

    Edit:
    (We usually always add one demo company during the initial install, but I forgot once and had to use this method).

    SOP for me is to always install the ABC company.  A better solution for Sage is to program a prompt to company maintenance so that you can create a company code.  I would wager that the WAD solution is to do what @Kevin Moyes suggested.
