ken Bruce has gone mad!
can anyone tell me if its possible to copy an r6 bookmark.nsf to a new install of R8.0.2 and overwrite the existing bookmark.
When i try this i get the message “please load an upto date Bookamrk.ntf”
if i remove the r6 bookmark.nsf and let notes 8.0.2 recrate the bookmark.nsf it works fine.
this is a pain as i am unable to migrate old bookamrk.nsf to a clean install of 8.0.2.
upgrading an 6.5.6 notes setup upgrades the bookamrk file ok but cannot copy old bookmark into a new install.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I’m not sure why the Setup code is not automatically upgrading the design of your bookmark.nsf file, but you can try this to manually upgrade it:
temporarily rename the R6 bookmark file to bookR6.nsf
Launch Notes R8
Select File - Application - Open and open the application bookR6.nsf
elect File - Application - Replace Design (you must have View - Advanced Menus to see this option)
Click “Show advanced templates”
Select your local Bookmarks (8) template and click Replace
Exit Notes and copy bookR6.nsf to bookmark.nsf
Relaunch Notes
