SAGE Technical Support NumberFriend said he was having computer problems and now he can’t find the sage 50 company data. Only sample companies. He dropped off his computer for me to take a look. I can’t find any company.dat files other that those in the samples folder. Did not find any .ptb backup files either. I don’t think he has a network where the file could be located across the network somewhere. Is the company data stored in the cloud for Sage 50 or locally on the pc?
