Error Message When Opening Sage 50 US

Sage is aware that customers are getting a message “An error has occurred in the script on this page” when opening Sage 50. This error message will pop up each time when opening or changing a company.

This error is caused by a Microsoft update. The temporary workaround is to click "No" until the message goes away, and then you can work in Sage 50 normally for that session.

They are working diligently to resolve this issue as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
