Open a webpage from within Sage 50 Accounts

By default, when you press the F12 when in your software, it opens Sage Report Designer. If you prefer, you can change this to open a webpage instead. For help at your fingertips, we recommend setting it to open the Sage Help Centre. Alternatively you could open a useful Sage knowledgebase article, or perhaps the HMRC or Revenue website. Let's take a look.

1. Click Tools, click Options then click the Environment tab.
2. In F12, enter cmd /c start [your web address]
   For example:
   • To open the Sage Help Centre, enter cmd /c start https://my.sage.co.uk/public/help.aspx#/customer/support/accounts
   • To open www.hmrc.gov.uk enter cmd /c start www.hmrc.gov.uk
     
   • To open our UK tax code guide, enter cmd /c start https://gb-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=210902115318253
     
     For our Ireland tax code guide, enter cmd /c start https://ie-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=210719151047767
3. Click OK.

TIP: To link to any Sage Knowledgebase article, open the required article then copy the path in the browser address bar.
