Important! Do not move, rename or delete files in the folder where your company file is located. If you open the folder in which your company file (.SAI) is stored, you will see a folder with the same name that ends with .SAJ. The .SAI is the file you use to open your company, but it relies on the data in the .SAJ folder to work.

To re-open one of the last 10 companies you have opened:

  1. In the Home window, on the File menu, choose Recently Opened Companies.
  2. Select a company from the list.
