How big is your budget?

And what exactly are you trying to read?

I am trying to read our archive database which was not upgraded by the consultant when he upgraded our ACCPAC to 2014... its an sql database

The migration / upgrade path is 5.5 --> 5.6 then 5.6 --> 6.2 (2014)

If you don't have access to version 5.6, please contact your business partner.  

Can you please tell me how to upgrade it?

Do I just have to download version 5.6 and point it to the archive database? Then get a dump to use for version 6.0?

You can't download it.  Contact your Sage business partner.

Hi Jay,

I already have the old versions of the Accpac.

Can you tell me if the steps are correct?

Yes
