Unable to create remote database or sync as administrator [ Edited ]

[lsritz]

Hi, I'm currently running Sage ACT! Pro 2011 on a Windows 7 machine.

I no longer have access to the drive on which the original database was created, since I had my hard drive replaced. However, I was able to export all of the data to a new database on my new computer using the Export function.  I am listed as the administrator, but the  "Create a Remote Database" option is always greyed-out.

I am listed asSecurity Code: the Administrator; Log On Status: Active

Under Specify Access, It is all greyed-out but the Active box is checked.

Under Add Permissions, all are greyed-out but there is nothing in the column on the left but there are 6 items in the right column. One of those is Remote Administration.

Please advise as I need to share this database with two other users.

Hello Keith,

This message is due to User Account Control (UAC) in Windows 7. There are a couple of ways to workaround this:

- Close ACT!

- Then reopen it by right-clicking on the program icon and selecting Run As Administrator (instead of double-clicking)

- Run the update when prompted

OR

- Disable UAC and restart your machine. Instructions to disable UAC are in KB Article 25665
