R601 CF2: BUG! Special database object cannot be located

When opening a design element (type is FORM) in the release 6.0.1 CF2 designer the message:Special database object cannot be located

message followed.

I tries all posible sollution like:

  • compacting workspace

  • remove database

  • make new replica

  • remove all domino temp files in data directory

But the only workaround is returning to version

6.0.1 CF1.

Thank you Notes for creating a critical fix in a critical fix update version…

Not sure what your purpose is in reporting this here. It sounds like a support issue.

Yes I know, but others may be trying to solve this problem and after reading this they know that more people have the same problem!

exactly the right place. The published workaround helped me to resolve the problem quickly. Beside, Issue still persistent in R602 CF1 (Windows 2000 sp4)

The “Special database object cannot be located” message apears when a form contains a subform that is hidden from Notes in the SubForm properties.

You can edit the form by unhiding the subform!

The list of subforms a form uses, can be found in the $SubForms field of the form.

Hey Bo,

Thanks a lot for the posting. It really answered a few questions we had here at Coloplast as well :o)

Does anybody know is this is indeed a bug (ie. classified by the developers) or is it an undocumented feature? If it is a bug, does anybody is they plan to fix this? Soon? :o)

Bets regards,

Thank you soooo much for posting this. We just upgraded to R6 on Friday and surprise surprise we couldn’t access our forms on Monday. Great to be able to stop in here and get an answer so quickly.

Subject: Thank you…

Thanks Bo. You solved this one for me too.

And hello from an old friend. Hope things are going well for you over there in Denmark.

Subject: Another solution for special database object cannot be located

I also had the same problem on R601 CF1. I checked my $SubForms fields in the document properties and it did not show any subforms at all. But this post and another one referring to an “unknown server” led me to delete a special Javascript subform that was on the original form. This subform was coding to allow a web reporting service record hits to my database documents. I deleted the subform and I could immediately open the form.

Since I really want that subform on the form, I deleted the subform, did the changes that I needed to do to the form and then pasted the subform back in. Without doing anything on the form to add the subform back in, it still is there and the application seems to be working properly from the client and from the web.
