Multiple Company Logos

SUGGESTED

We recently upgraded from 18.1 to 19.4.  Our company has two divisions but its all filed under one tax ID.  Previously on Version 18.1 We had a mapped drive for each divisions Report Forms so all the reports pertaining to one division would have one logo and all the reports and invoices for the other division would have its logo.  When going to print a report or invoice you simply had to choose the mapped drive drop down to point to each Report Form.  Now with 19.4 we are missing this option.  I attempted to call support but felt like they did not understand what I was trying to do even when I had them remote into our system and show them.  They even provided a help document that said you can no longer do this but with my reading it seemed to prove that it should work..

18.1

19.4

The document support gave me on how to resolve this but based I what I am reading this document tells me to do how we previously had it setup.

How do I use multiple logos in Sage 100 Contractor Version 19 and higher? (create mapped drive for each company)

Description

How can I use a different custom logo for each company I have in Sage 100 Contractor Version 19.2 and higher?

Cause

With the release of v19 of Sage 100 Contractor (Sage 100CON), the way custom reports are evaluated has changed.

Each time Sage 100CON is opened, it reads the c:\mb7 folder and writes any custom reports and forms to the %localappdata%\Sage\Sage 100 Contractor\Report Forms path and the shared drive.

Included in this copying process is the logo.bmp file.

Resolution

  1. 1.     Set up different mapped drives for each company (see the linked article, "How do I map a network drive?" for detailed steps.
  2. 2.     Create a MB7 folder in the mapped drive.
  3. 3.     Place the company folder in the [drive letter]:\MB7 folder.
  4. 4.     Create a Report Forms folder in the MB7 folder.
  5. 5.     Place the company's logo in this folder, named logo.bmp.
  6. 6.     After setting up each company all users will need to rename the logo.bmp files in these locations:
  • §  C:\MB7\Report Forms
  • §  %localappdata%\Sage\Sage 100 Contractor\Report Forms
