Need to read sage Line 50 customer account balance

Hi,
I have a requirement to produce a report from SSRS which combines data from an ordering system with one field from Sage 50 accounts.

We need to interrogate the sage line 50 database to find the account balance for a particular account and use that figure to show how close the account is to their credit limit.

I am going to install web services on the server that holds the Sage 50 database and write an ASP script to read the Sage Line 50 database, pull the account balance for each account and populate a table in SQL Server (so I can run SSRS report against it). Not exactly a live feed but a snapshot is better than nothing.

I need two things:

1) An example connection string to allow me to connect to the Sage Line 50 database.
2) The names of the database fields that store the account reference (or Sales_Ledger_Id?) and the account balance (so that I can write an SQL statement to pull the data).

Kind Regards,
