For the best results, run the Data Verification on the server or computer that hosts the Sage 50 data.

1. First, change the accounting period to period one.
2. Browse to File, Data Verification.
3. Select Both Tests (recommended) box, and then choose Start.
4. Select Backup and then Save. The data verification test will begin automatically when the backup is complete.
5. The option will come up to View the Error Log when the test is complete.
6. Select Close when done reviewing errors.
7. Change the accounting period back to the current period.

 NOTE: If the test found hundreds of errors or if your financial reports changed because of the test, chat with Sage below for more assistance.
