Support for Sage CRM 2018 will be available the week of the 15th January 2018. First installs on Sage CRM 2018 need to run the following sql code if you dont install the metadata: 

   update Custom_Sysparams set Parm_Value = 'N' where parm_name = 'BrowserSecurityEnabled'

The reason is Sage CRM have added a new setting called Browser Session Security which allows you to control whether users can connect to their current Sage CRM session by using the same SID and access URL on a different computer. This option needs to be disabled for several key features to work. Sage CRM Help


4.7.1.1c 24 July 2017

  • (NEW) Mail Merge edits and merges Excel Templates
  • (fix) Time Zones in Server Code.

An issue in the build meant that the excel merge change setting is wrong. You need to change the "TemplatesMailMergeSQL" setting in the web.config to be as follows 

   <add key="TemplatesMailMergeSQL" value="select libr_libraryid,Libr_Type, Libr_Category, Libr_FilePath, Libr_FileName,

Libr_Note, Libr_Status from library WITH (NOLOCK) where libr_mergetemplate='Y' AND Libr_Global = N'Y' 

AND Libr_CampaignId IS NULL  AND  libr_active = N'Y' and (libr_entity='#EntityName#' or

libr_entity is null or libr_entity =') and libr_deleted is null and (libr_filename 

like '%.do%' OR libr_filename like '%.xl%'  OR libr_filename like '%.csv%') and

(libr_private is null or libr_private=N'N') ORDER BY Libr_FileName DESC , Libr_LibraryId DESC" />
