Anybody else seeing after upgrading an R5 client to R6.5 the personal address book loses it’s Design template inheritance? Prior to upgrade it’s set to inherit StdR4PersonalAddressBook, but after running the upgrade it’s blank. The R6.5 pernames.ntf is set correctly as a Master template with name StdR4PersonalAddressBook.

I came up with this as a workaround. Mail the users a button with this code:

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim db As New NotesDatabase("", "names.nsf")

If db.IsOpen Then

	db.Title = "Personal Address Book" & Chr$(10) & "#2" & "StdR4PersonalAddressBook"

	Msgbox "Upgrade is Complete"

Else

	Msgbox "Upgrade Failed - unable to open Personal Address Book"

End If

End Sub
