Applies To

Cause

This error is most typically caused by the following:

  2. You need to update your Sage program to the latest version.

  3. You have updated to the latest version of Sage, but your Desktop Sync App requires an update also.

Resolution

The steps for each of the above causes are as follows:

  1. Ensure that your Sage program is installed on the same PC as the Sync App. This is essential for your integration to run properly.

  2. Check your Sage program for an update, and ensure you are updating all company files linked with the program.

Once you have completed all of these steps, re-sync your company data on AutoEntry, and the error should clear within a few moments!
