As Richard Schwartz pointed out, all those error message displaying wx:yz numbers only are genuine Notes bugs. They should never be displayed to the user.

One last suggestion (don’t put much hope in it): I’ve seen occasions, where creating a full text index somehow magically cured a corrupted database. So, if nothing else helps, give it a try. Btw, does copy-style compact discard view indexes? I’m not sure, maybe ncompact -D is worth another trial.

What’s that mean for " 13:96"? is time?

Subject: RE: Corrupt nsf file

If I’m reading the Notes API include files correctly, 13:96 is

PKG_NSF3 +22: ERR_BKTDESCPAGE_CORRUPT “Bucket descriptor page is corrupt, perhaps partially written”.

Not that that helps much.

Clearly, an NSF’s internal structures is corrupt. If the standard fixup/update/compact tools can’t deal with it, there’s not much that you can do.

But… before you give up hope, not that I said “an NSF” rather than “the NSF”. I’ve seen cases where every indication was that a particular NSF was corrupt, but it really turned out be a corrupt cache, bookmarks, desktop, or names.nsf.

You might want to do a file copy and take the NSF over to another Notes client, and try to open it there, just to be sure.
