Add country names to MAS90 forms

If you’ve ever tried to add the country name to a MAS90 or MAS200  graphical form then you know how frustrating it can be.

Early versions of MAS90 (and MAS200 also) required that you attempt to link in the master file containing the country code name (MAS90 and MAS200 data layouts here). One of the issues was that both the bill to and ship to fields could have different country names. These links weren’t simple to make due to both complexity and an existing Sage bug that limited certain links.

One workaround (not needed for some newer versions of MAS 90 or MAS 200 which have since added these fields to the needed tables) is to create sub reports with shared variables.

This is an intermediate to advanced level task. If you’re at all uncomfortable with Crystal Reports or the MAS 90 file layouts then you may want to pass up this chance to tinker with your forms.

If you’re up for a little adventure then first backup your files then head to the link below where you can view instructions on how to modify your form so that country name is properly displayed.
