A Brief Summary of Bob Error 5185 Sage 50
The Bob error 5185 sage 50 arises when local server connections are restricted when used on a web server, terminal server, application server, or any other type of server product used to access the data on behalf of the remote computers. In simple words, we can say that it is because your application attempted to create a local server connection from one of these restricted environments.
Suppose the application is using this software product to distribute work without access to the data from the Advantage Database Server. In that case, the application must act as the ‘CLIENT’ that directly accesses and uses the data. Specifically, only those computers which have the Advantage Local Server DLL loaded in their memory can have access to the data that the Advantage Local Server DLL obtains. It is illegal to use the Advantage Local Server with any web server, terminal server or any other type of middleware or server product to access the data on behalf of the remote computers.
