Sage login

[josh2009]

I'm using sage lin 50 v9 on a standalone pc. Is there any way to bypass the sage login prompt?

[brucedenney]

yes, remove the password and set it to being single user.

[josh2009]

there is only 1 user and no password, yet every time sage loads, i am prompted to enter a username?

[brucedenney]

Settings>Company Preferences>Parameters>Access Rights << remove the tick

[josh2009]

i have removed tick in access rights. when i exit and open sage i am again prompted for name and access rights is still ticked?

[brucedenney]

That would normally only happen if you were running multi company, perhaps there is a strange entry in the company file that needs clearing out?

[josh2009]

hi,

could you tell me the name of the company file and could I edit it using notepad?

[brucedenney]

The company file is called company, it has no file extension and you can edit it with notepad.

In v9 it is almost certainly in your local sage installation directory.

[josh2009]

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNTS



this is what the file contains:

[brucedenney]

Try deleting the bit of "junk" on the second line

switch off access rights and see if it stays off now.

[josh2009]

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNT
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNTS



when i delete junk and login I am prompted to select a company. the company file now shows above.
line 1 says invalid dir and line 2 are my accounts. the accress rights remains ticked and stil prompted for username.

[brucedenney]

edit the file so it contains nothing but

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNTS

with one blank line after it.

[josh2009]

hi,

no joy I'm afraid.
company file dispalys
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNTS

have inserted 1 return after above line.


still prompted for username and access rights remains ticked.
