- Produce letters for your customers or suppliers in Microsoft Word, using information taken from your Sage Accounts data
- Produce graphs based on your Sage Accounts data within Microsoft Excel

Can I update my Sage Accounts data using the ODBC driver?
The ODBC driver is read-only, allowing you to retrieve data from Sage Accounts into other software, but you cannot update information back into Sage Accounts.
