Report Criteria defaults to 31/12/2019

When you run a report in Sage 50cloud 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 50cloud Accounts, which includes an extended date range criteria up to 31/12/2050.

To Check your version

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

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

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