B)is required before you can create new company data files
C)occurs automatically after you install the program
D)is required annually to continue using the program

Accepted Answer

Registering the Sage 50 program is necessary to continue using the program. Without registering the program, the user will not have access to all features and may be prompted to register each time they open the program.

Question 2

To see that your working copy contains all the files from the data folder -
A)open the sample company
B)open the appropriate drive to verify data folders and files
C)show the select company window at startup
D)create a new company

Opening the appropriate drive to verify data folders and files is the best way to check if the working copy contains all the files from the data folder.

Question 3

The save a copy function will automatically -
A)save changes to the data file and the backup file at same time
B)save changes as another file and keep the new file open
C)save changes as another file and keep the original file open
D)restore a file that was previously saved

Accepted Answer

The save a copy function allows the user to save changes as a new file while also keeping the original file open. This is useful when the user wants to create a new version of the file without altering the original. Option A is incorrect because the save a copy function does not automatically save changes to the data file and backup file simultaneously. Option B is incorrect because the new file created with save a copy function is closed, not kept open. Option D is incorrect because the save a copy function is not used for restoring files.

Question 4

A)find the topic on the help window contents tab screen
B)find the topic on the help window index tab screen
C)enter the topic on the help window search tab screen
D)all of the above may provide the help you need

Accepted Answer

All the options mentioned (finding the topic in the contents tab, index tab or search tab) may provide the necessary help on a topic in Sage 50. Thus, the best choice is D, which includes all the options.

When you work with a DVD you cannot -
A)back up your data files to the DVD

D)perform any of the above actions

Accepted Answer

DVDs are usually used for storing and playing media files such as movies, music, and video games. While it is possible to store data files on a DVD, it is not recommended as there are better options such as USB flash drives or external hard drives. When working with a DVD, you cannot back up your data files, make a copy of your data, or open a working copy of your data file. These actions are only possible when working with a computer's hard drive or other storage devices.

Question 11

The backup function will automatically -
A)create a compressed backup version of the current file and close the current file
B)save changes as another file and keep the new file open
C)create a compressed backup version of the current file and keep the original file open
D)restore a file that was previously saved

Accepted Answer

The backup function creates a compressed backup version of the current file, but keeps the original file open, allowing the user to continue working on it. This ensures that any changes made after the backup are also saved, and reduces the risk of accidentally overwriting or losing data. Options A and B both involve closing the current file, which could lead to data loss if changes are not saved or if the backup process fails. Option D refers to restoring a file from a previous backup, rather than creating a backup.

Question 12

The date format settings in the Sage 50 data file can be changed by accessing the Sage program system settings screen. This allows the user to customize the date format according to their preference. The Windows control panel screen and the Windows explorer properties menu do not have any specific option to change date format settings within the Sage 50 program.

A)choose classic view from the view menu
B)choose the classic view tool in the module window
C)choose restore from the home window help menu

A)is the same as in other Windows programs on your computer
B)applies to all Sage 50 data files
C)is set for the individual data file
D)cannot be changed after you set it up

Accepted Answer

The date format used in a Sage 50 data file is set for the individual data file and can be changed in the Options menu under Date Format. It may differ from the date format used in other Windows programs on your computer and is not necessarily the same for all Sage 50 data files.

Question 18

The save function automatically -
A)saves changes to the data file and the backup file at same time
B)saves changes as another file and keep it open
C)takes place each time you close a data file
D)restores a file that was previously saved

Accepted Answer

The save function in most software applications typically takes place each time you close a data file. This ensures that any changes you made to the data are saved in the file, so you don't lose any progress or data. Option A is incorrect because not all software applications have backup files, and even if they do, they are not always saved at the same time as the data file. Option B is incorrect because it is not the typical behavior of the save function, and it could lead to confusion if multiple files with similar names are open. Option D is incorrect because the save function does not restore files; that would be the job of the restore function.
