AccuTrack/AccuSQL: How can I get back into the software when I changed my database location to a data path it does not like?

This is simply that the database location is not set properly or your windows account does not have access to the required database location.  To get connected back to your previous database (if known) and/or set it back to the sample database you just have to do the following steps:
  1. Right-click the AccuTrack/AccuSQL desktop icon (May also be located by typing the AccuTrack or AccuSQL in the start menu if you do not have it on your desktop) and select "Open file location."


  2. Now look in this directory for an EXE program named "SetDataPath.exe" and double-click it to open it.

    NOTE: that you'll have a similar screen as the "Database Location" screen in AccuTrack/AccuSQL 2019.

  3. Select SQL Server mode on the first option to us SQL Server.


  4. Now enter all the credentials back to the original settings or set it to the sample database.
    NOTE: You can click the Test Connection button to ensure the connection to the database can be made before saving the settings.

  5. Once done simply save the settings and exit the program.


  6. Now try to reopen AccuTrack/AccuSQL 2019 and it should connect to your previous database or the sample database.
