Error opening version 8 mailfile in 8.x client

Having the same problem as reported here:

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/b00d3fd7c044ef2a852574e100045287?OpenDocument

The fix, deleting the workspace directory, works in some cases but not in others. The error is consistent- when the mailfile is opened on one client, the error occurs, but is fine from another version 8 client. Rolling back the design of the database to DWA7 resolves the problem (obviously, but is just a temporary solution. Renaming the data directory and running the install file to create a “fresh” data directory, and copying locally replicated databases also works, but is not really acceptable either.

It really seems that there is a rogue file in the data directory causing the problem, but I have had no luck finding it!

We haven’t touched the composite application editor in relation to this application.

Any suggestions would be great,

Thanks
