MAS90 VI__ImportJobMaintenance_ui error after Microsoft Patch
File this one under unconfirmed for now but we’re posting in case it may help someone out of a jam.
90 Minds Consultant Harold Westover has this to note about a recent import experience using MAS90 Visual Integrator (aka VI). This same tip probably holds true on MAS 200.
So far Harold’s the first to notice so treat this as unconfirmed – but definitely worth a check on your system if you run into a similar error message.
MAS90 Visual Integrator : VI__ImportJobMaintenance_ui error after Microsoft Patch
Tuesday VI was working fine. Suddenly on Wednesday, when you tried to select any VI job on 24 workstations we got the error above BUT NOT on the server and one workstation. It turned out that that the server did not have Microsoft Office installed and the PC that worked had Office 2000. All the others had Office 97. Upgraded to Office 2000 and immediately that PC could now run VI jobs.
Looks like the Microsoft Tuesday patches caused the problem and the Client is now forced to upgrade to Office 2007.
Hope this saves you all from hours of diagnostic work.

I also received a copy of the .M4X file of what I assume contains the demo Customizer/Scripts from Steve Malmgren’s 4.40 Webinar a few weeks ago. Don’t believe Sage has posted it yet in the PFC.
Additionally I received a copy of the 4.40 mini-brochure (5 pages) of What’s New in 4.40. Also don’t believe Sage has it posted anywhere yet, but thanks to Wayne Schulz ( http://www.s-consult.com ): http://www.scribd.com/doc/25932616/Sage-MAS-90-and-200-Whats-New-in-4-4

Extended Solution Upgrade? Sage Preferred Developer List Available
As you know if you’re using an Extended Solution that is not making the trip into version 4.4 then you’ll have to decide whether to upgrade that solution on your own or find a developer to do the work (for a fee).
Sage has announced that 56 of their Extended Solution catalog will be incorporated into version 4.4+ of Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 (EES would receive them as well). The remaining catalog is available to all developers in good standing with Sage. They may upgrade these items and offer them to their customers – or to the general public.
Preferred Development Partners are a firm that has gone through the application process and have 15 positive references on their Providex programming work. They must have 5 partner and 10 client references that Sage checks. If the development partner is already a Gold or Endorsed Partner they get to skip the reference check and are considered a preferred development partner.
90Minds member DSD Business Systems is one of the Preferred Developers on this list. The contact is Jon Reiter – jonr@dsdinc.com.
Here’s a list of the current Sage Preferred Developers who can update your Extended Solutions (for a fee).

Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 Payroll Taxes Get Update For 2010
Sage Software just updated their payroll tax tables for the 2010 payroll law changes.
This table, available via download only, can be used on any MAS90 or MAS 200 system that is at level 3.71 or higher.
In order to download the tables (none are send by disk) you’ll need to access the Sage Software online site (or have your Sage Business Partner do this for you).
Sage typically updates their payroll tax tables several times during the busy year end time. This is because some states are late to report their changes or have not made up their minds about the rate schedules. Therefore be sure you check back at the Sage site to be sure you have the latest tax update.
After installing the tables be sure you verify they’re operating correctly (proper tax taken out) by manually computing a few checks and comparing the taxes per your computation (use the IRS paper guides to compute the tax manually) to what MAS90 or MAS200 computes.
If you are submitting 1099 data electronically or have New Jersey W2 forms to print – be sure to review the 2009 IRD which Sage also just released. It contains patches to enable MAS 90 and MAS 200 to correctly submit under the two previous situations (1099 filing electronically and NJ W2).
