A QuickBooks user can encounter
QuickBooks Error CodeH505 when he or she attempts to switch from single-user mode intoQB multi-user mode. The occurrence of this error means that QuickBooks in
multi-user mode is unable to connect to the server.
If QuickBooks Error Code H505 appears on the screen, it maybe because one or more of the users’ computers is set to be the QB server. The
users’ computers can function in multi-user mode, but only the server, i.e.
computer hosting the company files, should be the only machine configured to
act as the host.
Various factors can lead to
QuickBooks H505 Error –
.ND file is damaged or incorrect. Without a functional .NDfile, QuickBooks is unable to access the files on a network.
QuickBooks services – QuickBooksDBXX and QBCFMonitor are notrunning.
The IP address of the server cannot be found.
Hosting has not been configured properly.
The server does not have to host mode turned on.
