How to open SOA file?
The main problem with Sage MAS 90 Accounting Software Data is that the SOA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SOA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SOA 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 MAS 90
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sage MAS 90 is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sage MAS 90 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SOA with Sage MAS 90. Below you will find a list of applications that support SOA files.
Programs to open SOA file
Remember to download programs supporting SOA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sage MAS 90 with SOA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SOA file to open in the Sage MAS 90 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SOA file with the Sage MAS 90 program.
Step 3. Update Sage MAS 90 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sage MAS 90 program, it is possible that Sage MAS 90 Accounting Software Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the The Sage Group plc website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SOA 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. Usually this applies to SOA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SOA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SOA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SOA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SOA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Sage Group plc
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SOA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SOA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SOA to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
