Problem:
I am doing my year end and I get an error message "No Argument %s".
Cause:
There is one or more non-Paymate file(s) in the company’s current data directory (i.e. a Document, a spreadsheet, etc.). When Paymate attempts to close the year and create the New Year data, non-Paymate files are not recognized by the upgrade routine, and halt the process.
Solution:
1. In Paymate, click on the Utilities menu, and select Backup.
...
Steps:
- From the top menu, go to Utilities > Backup.
- Make a backup of the current data, and write down the location and filename of the backup created (you will need this later).
3. In Paymate, click on Setup, and select Preferences.
...
- In Acclaim, go to Setup > Preferences.
- At the bottom, you will see ‘Working Directory’. Write this down (you will need it later).
...
...

...
- Acclaim.
...
- Through the Windows Explorer, browse to the working directory location you wrote down in Step #4.

...
...
