Restore the Modules and Tasks panel in Sage 100
If your Modules and Tasks panel has disappeared from the Sage 100 desktop, you can quickly restore it by checking your view settings in the Library Master module or, if needed, editing the Windows registry to reset the panel’s display. Always proceed with caution when making registry changes, and consider reaching out to a professional if you’re unsure.
If you work with Sage 100 and suddenly notice that your Modules and Tasks panel has disappeared from your desktop, don’t worry! This is a common issue and can be resolved with a few simple steps. In this guide, we’ll show you how to restore the Modules and Tasks panel and get back to work quickly.
How to restore the Modules and Tasks panel in Sage 100
Step 1: Check your view settings
First, verify that your view settings are correct within Sage 100:
- Open the Library Master module.
- Navigate to the View tab.
- From the drop-down menu, select Detail View to add a check mark.
- Next, select Show Tasks to add a check mark.
- Ensure Auto Hide Tasks is not selected. If it is checked, click it again to remove the check mark.
This should bring the Modules and Tasks panel back into view.
Step 2: Edit the Windows Registry (if necessary)
If updating the view settings doesn’t restore the panel, you may need to adjust a setting in the Windows Registry. Please use caution with this approach and back up your registry before making changes.
- From the Windows menu, select Start | Run.
- Type regedit to open the Registry Editor.
- For Sage 100 (or MAS 90 or MAS 200 4.10 and higher), navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sage Software\MAS 90 Business Desktop\Docking - For earlier versions, use:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Best\MAS 90 Business Desktop\Docking - Right-click on Docked and select Modify.
- Set the Value Data to 1.
- Close the Registry Editor.
Important note:
Always use extreme caution when editing the Windows Registry. Incorrect changes can cause system instability. Back up your registry before making any modifications.
