Sage 200C tabbing from other programmes

Posted By

Hi,

We have just 'upgraded' from Sage 200 to Sage 200c.

We do a lot of SKU tabbing (alt+tab) from external programs such as Excel and Word in to 'View Stock item balances' in Sage. 

On this new version of Sage the alt+tab function only works within the Sage programme, i.e alt+tab takes you from 'View Stock item balances' to the Sage home screen or any other open function such as 'View buying prices' unlike the old version which would tab straight across to the external programme such as Excel.

The only other way is to double tab out of Sage into the external programmes which as we have up to 8 programmes (constantly in use) open at once is not the easiest action to perform.

As we perform this action 100s of times daily this is extremely frustrating and I find it have to believe any one would intentionally design it to be like this!

Does anyone know if there is a way to go back to the way the old version of Sage tabbed straight across please?

    Something strange going on - I'm not getting that behaviour (Windows 10). A single alt-tab will switch happily between a Sage screen and Excel, without going to the Sage desktop.

    However, given that you are having problems, you may be able to use the CRM Form Launcher for the Sage screens so the Sage desktop isn't even there!  (The CRM Form Launcher is an optional component in the Sage 200 installation routine, and you (or your BP) may need to configure it for the screens you need )

    Hi Geoff,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Interesting that it works OK for you. I did call my BP CS and was told that this was just the way 200C worked!

    I will contact the BP team that installed the new version and check regarding the CRM Form Launcher.

    Ben
