Hello ETreds, where are you now with your data? A hotfix patch is now available, see this latest announcement with details on KB 102602.
Ok thanks, I’ll try that out.
i actually ended up restoring from the most recent old back up so I could get our work done. But I know I lost some work. I’m hoping I’ll be able to restore from the other back up once this issue has been fixed.
I tried this hotfix. I had downloaded 2020.1. It still doesn't allow me to open my company files. I tried restoring from several backups as well and I still get 'company files can't be opened' message. this is getting ridiculous.
Make sure the names in file form and what you named your Simply are the EXACT same. I had restored from a back up, named it one thing when I saved it, and then changed the name of my Simply app and it gave me the same message.
Hi I tried this out, unfortunately I still can't restore from my most recent back up. The backups seem to be in SAI format not CAB. How can I convert these? If I can't restore from my most recent back up then I will have lost all my work including my December 2019 payroll. ):

Hi ETreds,
When you launch Sage 50, run it as admin manually by right clicking the Sage 50 icon and selecting "run as administrator."
This should launch a welcome screen similar to the one below. Depending on your backup format. If your backup file extension is .CAB select “Restore from backup”. OR If your backup folder has a .SAI file and .SAJ sub-folder with matching names choose the “select an existing company” option to locate the backup manually. Alternatively, if you have a sample company file open, then these options below are also available via the File menu.
