Open Database

Dear all,

In order to learn how Domino works, I created test servers in my PC.

1)I created “One/DOM” server. I made some tests and then I uninstall it.

2)I created a new server “Two/DIM”. I made some tests and then I uninstall it.

3)Now I have a new server installed, the “Three/DEM”.

The problem is that when I follow:

File-> Database-> Open in the field “Server” there is a list of all the servers I had previously installed and uninstalled. I can’t only see the entry for the actual “Three/DEM” server, but also the entries for “One/DOM” and “Two/DIM” servers.

How can I clean this list and have only my actual server in it? Can anyone help me?

To solve the problem I deleted the databases bookmark.nsf and cache.ndk from the directory of Lotus Notes, but nothing happenned.

Thanks in advance,

Panos Kal

I am assuming that while you un-installed your servers, you did not uninstall the clients (or if you did, the data folder was not deleted)

The ‘old’ servers are listed because you will have database icons on your workspace pointing to those servers. If you are new at Notes, you may not be familiar with the workspace. It is the interface used up until version 4, and is still very popular with users.

To open your workspace, click on the Databases bookmark icon on the left bookmark bar, then click on the workspace icon. You will then see a grid arrangements with large square ‘icons’ for each database you have opened. Choose View - Server names, then click on any icons for your old servers and delete them.

Alternatively, close your Notes client and delete the file called desktop6.ndk from your Notes data folder.
