DBD cannot get the list of address books for the local server

in our forms we use checkbox-field with formula-choices like this:

@DbColumn(“”:“NoCache”;@GetProfileField(“Einstellungen”;“Sprachen_Server”):@GetProfileField(“Einstellungen”;“Sprachen_Datenbank”);“(Sprachen2)”;1)

very often when not using the database for a certain time and open a form with such a calculation i get the following error:

DBD cannot get the list of address books for the local server.

ibm seem to know about this problem but does not solve it:

Subject: Same error on 8.5.3

Just started getting this error today. Never seen it before. It doesn’t appear to be consistent. Sometimes occurs when opening a document. If I try a second time the document opens fine.

The field it complains about is computed for display and uses @UserName as the key in an @DBLookup to compute the value.

The field is on a subform that is used on every form in the database and yet the error occurs only occasionally.

Subject: Solution.

A customer of mine got the same problem today.

Look at the notes folder (and below). You will see some files shown blue, meaning “Compress Contents to Save Disk Space” attribute is in effect. CLose Notes, uncheck this attribute, and do not use this medieval windows “feature” again.

Subject: DBD error message - no documentation found for this error

Hi - did you get a fix for this problem? I’m experiencing the same thing. Users of the 8.5.2 client get the following error when trying to open a couple of documents:“DBD cannot get the list of address books for the local server”

Users of the 7.03 client just get “Field: ”

There is a field on the document with data type of Error (normally it should just be a Text field) and the contents is “31:B5” . The field above is supposed to display the contents of this field .Thanks.

Subject: 8.5.2FP3 - same issue

Recently I changed NotesID (moved to another department) and started get this message:“DBD cannot get the list of address books for the local server”

Did anyone solved the issue/found a workaround?
