Accessing archived databases

Once a database has been archived, it may be necessary to refer back to those transactions from time to time. The newly created archive database may be accessed via the log in screen for each module, by entering a specific username and password.

Before you begin, ensure the archived database appears in the Databases window of the SQLBase engine (which runs on the machine where the database is stored). If not, it may be necessary to restart the SQLBase engine.

1.   Double click on a module shortcut to access the login screen
If already logged into another module the software will log the user into the live database automatically. It is necessary to ensure no other module is open before trying to log into an archived database

2.   Type in the following details:

      First name – ARCHIVE

      Second Name – SYSTEM

      Password – TRUE

3.   A list of databases will appear. Highlight a database, and press OK

4.   A new log in screen will appear. Enter the username and password as per normal to log into the software.
