But you're asking for documentation for something that isn't supported and they don't want users to do :-)

 

I make wholesale changes to ACT! data regularly via the SDK.

 

The SA pass was released to support corporate users who want to use corporate backup solutions that require it.

 

BTW: The 2nd link in my first post in this thread gives a neat way to get the database relationships very quickly.

Apparently, my client did a reinstall and the sa password changed - once regenerated with the sa password tool, it worked fine.  Here's an interesting bit of trivia for you:  The total number of tables and views in ACT! 2010 is 698!  The total fields in this particular database is 7793!  This is a tribute to the absurdly over "normalized" and WAY too complex data structure brought about by developers who's goal is personal indispensibility at the expense of product performance and usability.  Small wonder it takes so long to load, is slow and gobbles up so many resources!  It's like taking a Ferrari with a V-12 (SQL Server) and pulling the spark plug wires from 10 of the cylinders!
Kudos!
