Upgrade Sage Line 50 Development

I currently have a bespoke package, built in VB6 about 5 years ago, with an access database, which links to Sage Line 50 V11.  I now want to upgrade to Sage V16 (2010) and would like to know an outline of what I will need to do to the VB6 programme to still be able to link to this newer version of Sage Line 50 please?

It depends on what it is doing!!

If it is writing data into Sage 50  then it is using SDO then you will need to spend £3000 on the SDK and upgrade all your code.

Or you could use a third party interface to Sage e.g. http://www.makingithappen.co.uk/integration.htm circa £500

If you are lucky, then it is only reading data from Sage using ODBC

The drivers have changed, you can use the new drivers as if they were the old drivers by overwriting the old V11 Dll with a renamed copy of the new one.

There are a few fields that have been changed so you might still have problems.
