Company File Check & Repair - Password?

SUGGESTED

I have an error message re. "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application.......etc"

After checking through this forum, I believe I can at least attempt to fix this by running the Company File Check & Repair option. However, when I try to run this it requests a password. I do not have a password set up for my Simply Accounting files. I tried setting up same, which worked fine for accessing my data, but would not permit me to access the Company File Check & Repair program. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to try them! Many thanks.

    Hi Old Salt,

    If you never setup a password but the file check & repair option still ask you to have one.  Please try to create one for the sysadmin account of your data file by going to setup, set up users.  Then, run the the DBverifier again for company check and repair.

    For unhandled exception error, there are numerous reason to generate the message, you can go to our knowledge base at https://support.na.sage.com and search for that.  It will give you about 20 articles with this messages.  You can look at each of them and see which one does fit your situation.  

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your reply Keith. I have tried setting up a password for sysadmin in my data file, which works fine to access the data, but I still get an invalid password error when I try to run the file check & repair option. I'll go through the knowledge base again, but it was there that I discovered the file check & repair option - which I am unable to use, because it won't accept my password....... I seem to be in a loop........
