I suggest you contact the software vendor's technical support. This group
addresses issues with the Microsoft Office product, and you're unlikely to
find other users of the Sage product here. Your error message indicates a
problem with SQL Server, but I'm guessing the SQL Server instance in
question is installed with the Sage product and/or the issue is in the new
version of the Sage product.

If your SQL Server is a separate product installed by you, post here (with
additional details such as the edition and version of SQL Server you are
using):
