I am starting out on Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate. Timberline/Sage is installed and I have a username and password to access the system.
I can also connect via Office Connector to the data and therefore have an data connection string. I would like to be able to see all the Sage tables. In Pervasive Control Center I have two databases whose names are all letters & numbers.
I found a Vendors table but everything else looks alien, and I cannot find any tables referencing jobs or general company information (like the Fiscal Year End). Sage Support recommended linking the Sage tables to an Access Database.
I am attempting to connect via ODBC / DSN. I get a prompt for my user name and password, when I enter it I get this message:
ODBC - call failed. [Simba][SimbaEngine ODBC Driver][DRM File Library]Permission denied. (#-1809)[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0 [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
What is the best way to gain access to the database to look around?
Also I ordinarily write stored procedures for use with Crystal Reports. Can this be done in the Pervasive Control Center against Sage data?
