    Wrong GL period for a local machine

    Sounds like you have SBT VisionPoint 10.0 which one of your predecessors customized to such an extent that he felt like renaming it "Quick Aviation." This sort of thing was quite common. SBT came with a source code license. Users and their reseller consultants often customized SBT to satisfy...

    Another user is releasing entries to GL

    The releasing programs look at the "dist" tables, not the "tran" tables. ICDIST, ICYDST, ARDIST, ARYDST, APDIST, APYDST and the Payroll dist and ydst tables. Could be trouble there. But clearing flags for all modules in the affected company usually fixes this unless a dist table is corrupted...

    accounts Payable, transaction, Enter Payables question

    Which version of Pro do you run? Newer version included this as a feature. Old VisionPoint also had this feature. But old SBT Pro did not. Matthew Lefkowitz Lefkowitz Systems, Inc. www.lefkowitzsys.com

    sbt ending balance

    GLFIXBAL was written by a programming at SBT a long time ago and made available to SBT consultants. It looks for and, optionally, fixes discrepancies in the SBT General Ledger for a single company. You put it into the SBT root folder and start Foxpro. Type DO GLFIXBAL from the Command window...

    sbt ending balance

    There is a GLFIXBAL utility program for SBT Pro 5.0 that checks for various discrepancies in the SBT Pro GL. I think it looks for duplicate account numbers. It certainly checks for account-period continuity problems in GLBALS such as the one you describe with FYBGBAL. The program can be run in...

    SBT 5.0 compiled in vfp 9 ?

    I found a new solution to the automatic PDF attachment problem for SBT (and other accounting systems). This solution is much like PDFBlaster which is no longer supported as far as I can tell. This is a printer driver with software behind it that intercepts bids, orders, invoices, POs and...

    sbt ending balance

    If the accounts are income statement accounts, then this is correct behavior. Income statement accounts are zeroed at the end of the year. The profit (or loss) for the company from the income statement is moved to the Retained Earnings account on the balance sheet. If they are balance sheet...

    SBT 5.0 compiled in vfp 9 ?

    I'd try VFP 6.0 instead of 9.0. VFP 6.0 supports Windows automation and is the version of VFP closest to 5.0, which does not support Windows automation. If you want to email bids, orders, invoices, statements and POs from SBT with PDF attachments, look for an old copy of MessageMaster, an SBT...

    when starting SBT from the workstation i get this message, please help

    Yes, on the C: drive. If you are using the server to host all of your users using Remote Desktop Services, it will be the desktop C: drive for each of them. But if you have users with workstations, put the new folder on the C: drive for each of them one at a time. Make the environmental...

    when starting SBT from the workstation i get this message, please help

    It's a right/privileges problem on the temp folder. An easy solution is to make a new folder on C: for temp stuff: C:\TEMP or C:\TEMPSBT. Make sure users have full access to the folder. Then make an environmental variable for all users called SBTTMP=C:\TEMPSBT Now SBT will use this new folder...

    Run Sage Pro 100 ERP 7.3B on Newer SQL and Server

    There is an "SBT Solutions" forum here on Tek-Tips which covers The Sage Pro, ACCPAC Pro and SBT Pro product line. If you have ACCPAC Pro 6.5, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 and need help, that's a good place to go. ACCPAC International bought SBT Accounting Systems in 2000 and renamed the SBT...

    Run Sage Pro 100 ERP 7.3B on Newer SQL and Server

    But there is a loophole. If you buy Sage 300 ERP with a year of software assurance, Sage will give you codes to upgrade your Sage Pro 7.3 to Sage Pro 2011 as an interim upgrade step. Sage assumes you will then run their conversion utility to move the Sage Pro 2011 data to Sage 300 ERP. But you...

    SBT User Permissions

    When you make the new privilege, copy from an old user, one who has similar duties to the new user. When you save the new user, you can copy privileges from the old user to the new. The Copy button works in the same way. Bring up your new user. Use the pulldown to get to the "Privilege"...

    SBT Error in Close Period and Year

    That line of code is from program SMPCLS.PRG. The program is checking to see if your system contains the PO, SO and MC modules but not the IC module. If this is true, SBT will not close the period and you will get a warning message to this effect. But this has nothing to do with GL period...
