Disconnect a company from Remote Data Access (RDA) - v28 and above

Description

The Disconnect From Remote Data Access option makes it easy to disconnect a company.

When would I need to do this?

When you no longer want to access the company data remotely from a specific computer
To re-sync the RDA connection by disconnecting then reconnecting
To reconnect to the correct or different dataset
To reconnect to a company on RDA that had to be removed

This only removes access to the company at one site, it doesn't remove the company completely from RDA.

When you disconnect, the data remains available to other RDA sites. However, what happens to the data on your computer/server depends on whether you log in as MANAGER or not:

Logged on as MANAGER?	Local computer/server
Yes	The company data remains on your local computer/server, but is no longer synchronising with the company shared using RDA.
No	Your computer/server deletes the local company data.

NOTE: If possible, take a backup of your company data before you disconnect.
