Sage - its true identity?

Am I correct to say "Sage is just a GUI for MS Access"?

I dont belive it is.
it uses a different ODBC driver - but can link to access db's as far as I know.

you would be very correct indeed :)

I've done a bit of work in the past to get around a certain mechanism of Sage before now (as asked by the director of the company :) )

IIRC its a Delphi front end for an encrypted Access97 DB. Simple As.

Thanks. Does this mean you need to have MS Access installed in order to use Sage?

rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishey - I stand corrected then !! ( its all coding malarky to me - I'm "just" an admin :) )

FunkyT - you dont need access installed to use sage.

the access database drivers (Jet) are standalone - i've written access databses in the past using ASP, and Jet 4.0

Thanks for helpful replies gang.
