Sage 50 Start Screen

Sage 50 can display the Start screen when you first open Sage 50.

Go to the Options menu and notice Start With Last Opened Company.

When there is a check mark next to this menu option, Sage 50 starts with the company that was last opened.
To see the Start screen when you open Sage 50, click this menu option to de-select it.
Exit Sage 50 and reopen it to see the Start screen.

From this screen, you can choose one of the following startup options:

Note: Sage 50 displays the Start screen each time (regardless of start up option selected) if the last company opened was Bellwether Garden Supply, Sage 50's sample company.
