You may encounter a case where your Sage 100 menus aren’t rendering properly. In this situation, you may not have much control over the menu structure short of rebuilding it from scratch.
Fortunately, Sage 100 has a tool which will re-compile the menus and (hopefully) restore them to their normal state.
The hidden utility used varies based on the version of Sage 100 in use.
The instructions work for both Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud. As always, before running any utilities on your Sage data please ensure you have a complete backup just in case you need to restore one or more files.
