Accessing the Sage 100 database requires appropriate permissions and understanding of database management. Here are the general steps: 1. Install ODBC Driver: - Ensure the Sage 100 ODBC driver is installed on your computer. 2. Configure ODBC Connection: - Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator on your computer. - Add a new data source and select the Sage 100 ODBC driver. - Enter the necessary connection details, such as server name, database name, and login credentials. 3. Access Database: - Use a database management tool (e.g., Microsoft Access, SQL Server Management Studio) to connect to the Sage 100 database using the ODBC connection. 4. Query Data: - Once connected, you can run SQL queries to access and manipulate the data as needed. Note: Modifying the Sage 100 database directly can affect the system's integrity. It is recommended to consult with a Sage-certified consultant or contact Sage support for guidance.
