Is there a way to export the entire names.nsf from the server to a csv file?
Thanks,

What do you mean, exactly, when you say “the entire names.nsf” – do you simply mean all the names in the address book, or ???

I mean the name, lastname, firstname, middleinitial, company, officephonenumber, shortname.
When I create a view with all of those fields in it I get a replication or save error showing up for everyone. If I just do name and shortname it turns out OK… I was thinking their might be a way to export the data without using a view.

Do you only see the Replication/Save Conflicts when you are looking at the view in Designer? If so, save and close the view and reopen it. Some version of Designer seem to have a bug… I’m guessing at this point that is what you are experiencing…
If you are seeing theconflicts when viewing the view in the Notes Client then you need to determine whether or not you really do have conflicts. If you want your view to EXCLUDE conflicts all you have to do is add the following code to the view’s Select statement:
& @IsUnavailable( $Conflict )
So, your new Select statement might look like this:
SELECT Form = “Person” @IsUnavailable( $Conflict )
Hope this helps…

The multiple replication/save conflicts you see are just an artefact of having the database open in both Designer and Notes at the same time – it often happens when modifying and looking at large views (and I have panicked many times at the phenomenon myself). Just close the database in both clients, including making sure that the database icon is not selected on your workspace in Notes, then re-open. Sometimes you may find you need to close and relaunch Notes altgether. In any case, you are not actually creating conflicts.

Thank you both very much. I’ll give this a whirl on Monday. The view seemed simple enough and I think I would have known earlier on if names.nsf had all of those replication problems.

Subject: Thanks worked perfectly!
It was because I had designer and notes open at the same time.
Thanks,
