Opening company files on external hard drive?

SOLVED
Posted By FormerMember

Hi everyone, 

Bit of dilemma i'm having... I purchased a wireless external hard drive to store my company files on so I can have access to the files from my desktop and laptop at anytime. However, for some reason after copying the files to the hard drive, I can't actually open them. 

Sage gives me the error that there is a file or something missing, but I literally copy and pasted the whole "simply accounting" file from my documents folder onto the hard drive, 


Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? 

Thanks!

    When you copied the files did it include the .sai file and the .saj folder for each and every company. These are a must! What I did when I moved my files to an external hard drive I opened each one and saved a copy on the hard drive. Yes, this takes time but in the long run you know you have what is required. Don't forget you will also need to have your Customized forms in a place where the program updates will not over-write them.
