Randy,

I tried a few switches but my version turns most off automatically and none that I tried popped up a message.

Randy,

I tried a few switches but my version turns most off automatically and none that I tried popped up a message.

THANKS!

Changing the registry key value for SANAware from -1 to 1 did make the message on opening the program go away on closing the program and re-opening it. (found under HKEY_USERS\<id>\SOFTWARE\Sage Software\Simply Accounting\2017\1) A button on the dialogue box would have been nice though.

I didn't notice the (now obvious) settings under Setup | User Preferences\Pop-ups were all checked. One of those may have switched it off as well.

In general, I think Sage could ease off finding new ways to pester customers and restrict capabilities, and instead make newer versions more capable.

I believe those popups only affect what comes through in the Message Centre for users.
