Field: 'Shopping Cart': A view of that name cannot be found in the specified database

I receive the following message when attempting to open an Internal Purchase Request’ in Lotus Notes 6.0, for our company.

Field: ‘Shopping Cart’: A view of that name cannot be found in the specified database

Some users can create these requests without any problems at all while most others receive this message and are unsuccessful.

Pardon me, but I am new to Lotus and do not do the Domino Administration and our Domino Adminstrator is out on vacation.

Any advice is appreciated.

A formula in the “ShoppingCart” field is trying to use @DbLookup or @DbColumn to pull information from a view of some database. The view was not found. There are two reasons this can happen:

  1. The view actually does not exist in the database.

  2. The view exists but the current user does not have access to it (because there’s a view Readers list and they’re not on it).

Note that the database in question is not necessarily the current database – it’s a database specified by the formula in the field.
