Hi I've just started using Microsoft Accounting Express 2008 and i was wondering where or how i could access the database tables which is attached to the program so i can extract data etc? Thanks in advance Martin
SQL Server Depending on what SQL versions you have installed (installed by MAE) the database files will be stored in a DATA directory. Try %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA By the way, Express 2009 is now available. Monk
Hi Thanks for the reply, I have found what seems to the data file but it has an file extension of .SBD and .SBL, is there a way to actually look at the data and use Excel to import it? I only have the SQL Server that was installed with the software which only has the configuration tools. Yea i saw there was 2009 but it seems that its for the US and i'm guessing it'll all be setup for the US market etc. Martin
