How to open SAJ file?

An often recurring problem with Sage 50 Folder is that SAJ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SAJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SAJ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Sage 50 Accounting

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sage 50 Accounting is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sage 50 Accounting in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SAJ with Sage 50 Accounting. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SAJ files.

Remember to download programs supporting SAJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Sage 50 Accounting with SAJ files

If, despite the installed application, the SAJ file does not start in the Sage 50 Accounting application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SAJ file with the Sage 50 Accounting program.

Step 3. Update Sage 50 Accounting to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sage 50 Accounting program, it is possible that Sage 50 Folder requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Sage Group plc website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAJ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SAJ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SAJ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SAJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SAJ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Sage Group plc help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SAJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SAJ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SAJ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
