The Accpac Guy
Odds and ends regarding the Sage ERP Accpac (Sage 300) system and other IT stuff I find useful or interesting.
Sage 300 ERP and Windows 8
Ran into a funny issue with running Sage 300 ERP from a network location. I was completely unable to pin the program shortcut to my taskbar.

This is apparently “by design”. Indeed, there are even certain executable files as well as shortcuts that contain certain strings (for example, “Help”, “Documentation”, “Install”) that are excluded from pinning!
