Report Criteria defaults to 31/12/2019

When you run a report in Sage 50 Accounts v26.1 and below, the date criteria defaults to run up to 31/12/2019.

As that date has now passed, you must ensure you are using the latest version of Sage 50 Accounts, which includes an extended date range criteria up to 31/12/2050.

If the dates still default to 2019 after installing v26.02, follow the steps below:

Check your version

1. Open Sage 50 Accounts.
2. On the menu bar click Help, then click About.
3. In the Program Details section, check the version number.

If you're using v26.01 or below, you must upgrade to the latest version.
