I have reinstalled Sage from another PC and have everything running but can't print invoices etc. It says it's unable to connect to ODBC then asks for my username and password for ODBC! I have looked on Google and the Sage forums but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to find out what your ODBC userid and password is?

I've never used Sage before.. so probably not much help.. but, don't you have a username/password for the database you're trying to connect to?
ODBC is just a link (bridge) between the user interface and the database allowing the interface to pass queries to the database and return resultsets etc.Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Leonardo Da Vinci0 -
I assume you have but,
Have you tried a blank password and username ?, or the one you use to get in to sage ?
If its an access database, try the link below, it may help you recover the password

My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -
It requires an ODBC link between Sage and the Report Writer program, and printing invoices etc requires access to this.
It may require that the data passwords be reset - sage technical support either have a program or method to clear passwords to start again with defaults"See you on the Other Side"0
