I’ve been getting the error ‘View Format has been Modified by Someone’ occasionally since I upgraded my client from 8.0 basic to 8.5 full. (I have also recently upgraded our server from 7.0.x to 8.5.) The scenario seems to fit with this technote:
Deleting memo takes a long time and returns error: ‘View Format has been Modified by Someone’
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21154541
That note, though, dates back to 6.0/6.5. I’m curious if anyone else is getting this under 8.5. I can’t find any other technotes referencing that particular error message.
The issue is really just an inconvenience – the memo sits in the inbox for a few seconds after I’ve deleted it, and the error shows in the status bar at the bottom of the Notes window.

You aren’t the only one.
I have a users who’s mail file is doing this. I tried rebuilding the inbox but not only doesn’t that work, It turns out every view/folder gives this message. I also tried replacing the design to no avail.
Attempting the rebuild a view, in any view in any replica of this database returns the same message.
If I find a solution I will post it.
Subject: Similar problem - View format has been modified
I have users experiencing a similar problem. They don’t have to be in their mail file but when new mail is delivered or a meeting invite pops up they get that error message. Have you been able to resolve it? I have a ticket with tech support but they don’t think its mail since its not exactly like the original problem back in the 6.5 days. I did have one user get the problem while deleting mail though.
