SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

hi,

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

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.

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNTS



this is what the file contains:

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

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

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.

edit the file so it contains nothing but

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAGE\ACCOUNTS

with one blank line after it.

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.
