Ok, this just popped up today and as such I can’t see any of the data in databases based on mail8.ntf.
It began with my local replica, and for yucks I created a new database based on mail8 and it still shows this error and no views.
Other databases appear to work fine.
The only change in the client I can recall was adding a new location doc for another project…which I am not currently using.
Doing a few searches here in this forum the only suggestion was to replace the design, been there done that. This is the 8.01 version of the template in an 8.0.1 client.
I had this with my Notebook/Journal and your right in that it seems to occur out of the blue, but I believe the culprit is bookmark.nsf. I believe in the past I created a new copy, or perhaps it did subside after a computer reboot, but it was happening more often, and I rebuilt my bookmark.nsf to resolve.
Brian, thanks very much for your pointer to the bookmark.nsf. I got this same problem opening my mail file (using Notes Standard) and spent an hour earlier trying to see what the problem was.
After seeing your post I shut down my Notes client, renamed my bookmark.nsf to something else, and restarted Notes. This gave me a choice of home page, etc., and then started up fine. When I now access my mail I see everything as normal. Also, it didn’t change my workspace icons, etc.
