Importing Sage Payroll Database into Access

cheungs7

Hi all,

Wondering whether you can anyone help me. We have Sage Payroll (and
accounting/payroll software), which has a MS Access database where the data
is stored.

Now I want to access the data in this database but whenever I do (without
using the Sage payroll client application) I get a permission problem. Now
I have the correct username and password, and I tried importing it in a new
Access database, but with no luck. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I even tried setting up an ODBC connection in Windows to the Sage Payroll
database, with the correct login credentials, but still no luck.

The reason I want to have read only access to the Sage Payroll database is
that the reporting tools are a little limited, I want to write some
applications which can generate more complex and flexible reports, but using
the Payroll database as the source of data.

Any advice/help will be great! Thanks in advance!

Steve.

What did Sage have to say when you asked them? It seems they are
making an effort to keep you out.

The username/password to logon to Sage is not necessarily the same as
is needed to link to the tables.

trouble with access / sage

by: Phil | last post by:

My mission is to get some data out of a sage application, via a very complicated query, into a csv file. My approach, so far, has been 1) link access tables to the sage application 2) build some sub queries 3) build a big query that brings together all the little queries. 4) dump the data generated by the big query into a csv file.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
