file not found error 52 and RDS (Remote Data Services)
FILE NOT FOUND Error Code 52 WITHIN AN RDS (REMOTE DATA
SERVICE) ENVIRONMENT
This error is caused by a Remote Data Server file path that
is not being communicated correctly to the client application or i.e., to the
remote data services client. It can refer either to the Numbercruncher file or
to the Quickbooks file
This incorrect file path easily be seen thru the server's registry entry HKEY-CURRENT-USER -> software -> numbercruncher
-> data which shows the file path to the QB file or any of the other NC file
entry keys on the registry.
The nature of the incorrectness lies in the fact that for the
server the QB file may be on the C:\ drive but for the client, the server
C:\ may be mapped to another network letter such as g:, h:, f: etc etc etc..so
the RDS client gets the local definition from the RDS server instead of the
mapping information
To correct the problem the best thing to do is to ensure that
the last QB company file or NC file are opened using a common mapped drive that
will be constant and not change from a disconnect to a reconnect. ACTUALLY THE
SAFEST CORRECTION would be to open the QB or NC file in either QB or in NC by
going thru the NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD. This way, instead of having a drive tagged
on to the file name which may be disconnected and reconnected with a different
drive letter....you would have a SERVER NAME which would be of the form //SERVERNAME//subdirectory
in server/filename.QBW or filename.NCB. This later approach would be more secure
in assuring that the file is always found.
