Disconnect a company from Remote Data Access - v28 and above

Disconnect a company from Remote Data Access (RDA) in Sage 50 Accounts.

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.

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.

Before you start

The steps below are for Sage 50 Accounts v28 and above.  Refer to our alternative article if you're using Sage 50 Accounts v27.
