Hi,
I created a database using Designer R5.0.7. I previewed this database in Lotus Notes 6. I made some changes on the database in R6.0. this change the database’s ODS version from 41 to 43. I want to change the database to its original on-disk-structure (ODS version 41). How can I do this? Please help me.

you can run compact -r against the DB (‘load compact -r’) to downgrade the ODS. If it’s a local DB on your Notes 6 client, I’d create a new replica with the extension .NS5 instead of .NSF to tell Notes to use the older file format.

I have a question for you, why do you want to change it to begin with?
Subject: The ODS doesn’t change like that, I think?
The database must have been compacted, otherwise the ODS won’t change. It certainly doesn’t change just by changing a few things in the database… at least, not that I know 
Subject: RE: The ODS doesn’t change like that, I think?
I know this is a bit late coming, but creating the new replica w/ the .ns5 extension works perfectly.
Does anyone happen to know if there’s a similar method (or ANY method) of backrolling a desktop6.ndk to desktop5.dsk???
Please don’t ask “Why would you do THAT?” Trust me there’s a reasonable explanation that has more politics behind it than any technical reasoning can justify.
Thanks,
Dean

On server R6x run:
Load compact base.nsf -R
=> ods43 → ods41
