Hi,
Please give me help to solve the following issue. It would be very urgent.
I created an application using my local PC with R6 Designer client. When I finished it I tried to open it with an R5.0.8 client but I got an error message that says “Invalid NSF format”. So I could not open it. The problem is that in the future this application should run on an R5 server. Is there any way to install it on an R5 server or I should write the whole application again using R5 Designer client?
Thank you very much.

A local client cannot open a database made in a later version. The 5.08 server will be able to host it.If you look at the Database Properties, Info tab, at the bottom you will see an ODS reference.
Version 6 = ODS 43, Version 5 = ODS 41.
For now what you can do is:
Make a new copy (in the notes client, Database New COPY)
Make the file extension .ns5 (not .nsf)
Check the ODS of the new copy and it should be 41 (R5)
This will make it a version 5 and will prevent it from being upgraded to Version 6 if the Compact task is run.
An R5 Server can host ND6 databases, but a client cannot open a local ND6 database.
