Sage Error: “Codebase Error #: -200 (Or Codebase Error #: 83805”)

Sage Codebase Error

Sage integrates Matrix to provide a wide range of tax forms and turns the most time-consuming tasks into a simple one by allowing users to complete over 250 state & federal reports automatically, review, edit, and e-file them; thereby eliminating the need to create them manually.

However, while preparing reports or printing a form, Sage 50 may prompt an error – CODEBASE ERROR #: -200

What is Sage Error: “Codebase Error #: -200 (Or Codebase Error #: 83805”)

The error occurs while using Enhanced Tax Reporting using Aatrix (software that provides the widest range of tax form ) and throws an error stating Sage 50 Data File Database Corruption Detected or โ€œCodebase Error #: -200 or Codebase Error #: 83805โ€ณ to be more precise.  And further states that the File is not a data file database corruption detected in Dat.bdfโ€

This could also be triggered when antivirus software is scrutinizing the data files and disabling it will allow the processing to run smoothly.
