Error: "loading current company file”

The error, "Error loading current company file" occurs in Sage 50 Accounting when trying to launch the program or open a company.

Cause

Invalid company is trying to open automatically
Release or build isn’t the same on all computers in a network
Service release is installed on some but not all computers
Opening workstation before installing update
Backup was restored on a computer that doesn’t have the same release or build as the computer that created the backup

Install the latest program update on the workstation. See How to manually install updates.

Right-click the Sage 50 Accounting icon and select Properties.
Highlight the Target line and then press the CTRL+C keys to copy.
Close Properties window.
Press the WINDOWS+R keys to open a Run line.
Click the Run line and press the CTRL+V keys to paste the shortcut target.
At the end of the line, add a space and then ABC.
- Example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Sage 50\Peachw.exe" ABC
Click OK.
Sage will open to the splash screen.
When Sage opens to the splash screen, first make sure you’re opening the correct company.
- To prevent the program from attempting to open the last used company, go to Options, and select Start with Last Opened Company to clear the checkmark by that option
If the correct company was opened, but the error persists, go to Services, Check for Updates to download and install the latest product update.
If the issue persists after installing the update, proceed to the next section.
