Before you start

Before you run through these steps:

  • Back up your data at all sites
  • Make a note of each remote user's current Sage Account email address from within Settings, User Management, Users

1. Remove and disconnect RDA at all sites

How you do this depends on the version of Sage 50 Accounts you have:

NOTE: Find out how to check your version number.

Sage 50 Accounts v28 and above

Sage 50 Accounts v27 

  1. Remove a company from Remote Data Access completely
  2. Disconnect a remote site from Remote Data Access

2. Disconnect the company from Sage Account

  1. Log in to your company on Sage 50 Accounts as MANAGER or an administrator user, click Settings then click Connected Services Settings.
  2. If a message advises you're using connected services, click Close. Follow the sections below to remove RDA and switch off Bank Feeds, then repeat step 1.

    NOTE: If you're using Invoice Payments, you don't have to manually disconnect this. It’s done automatically when you disconnect the company from Sage Account.

  3. To disconnect the company, click Disconnect then click OK.

3. Set up RDA again 

Once you've removed Remote Data Access from all sites, you can Set up Remote Data Access again.

  • If you're using Sage 50 Accounts v28 and above you can do this at any computer
  • If you're using Sage 50 Accounts v27, you must do these steps at the computer you want to become the main site

4. Reconnect remote users

Once you've uploaded your data to RDA, reconnect at other sites to connect remotely from another machine.
