How to move Paperless Office documents in Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 4.3+
Just last week I had a client who migrated from Sage MAS 90 to Sage Extended Enterprise (EES) for MAS 90. This upgrade involve installed the EES disks to an entirely new location on their server as well as importing all their old data.
Since they had been using the Paperless Office feature of MAS 90 to print their journals and registers to PDF files which are then stored on their network I had to take care to also move those paperless documents. My preference has always been to store all MAS 90 related data inside the \mas90 folder. This makes backups quick because you simply drag the \mas90 folder and all contentents to the backup. Unfortunately when upgrading and swapping directories you also need to make sure everything stored within the folder transfers as well.
During the upgrade to EES there is only a transfer of MAS 90 (or MAS 200) data. The paperless files and folders don’t migrate to a new location. If you want to move them you must do so manually.
In order to make the move you must follow some specific directions. Copying and pasting the PDF files won’t work as the only step because the path to those files is embedded inside some MAS 90 control files.
