View selection or column formula changed

A user has recently received the following error message in a system I maintain:“View selection or column formula changed.”

As far as I know, they only got the message once and it hasn’t reappeared.

I’ve never before seen this message, in 7 years of Notes development. Does anyone know what it means?

The error occurred in some LotusScript code programmed to display a stack trace, so I know it occurred upon calling the NotesView.Refresh method. The specific code was:

Set db=s.CurrentDatabase

Set view=db.GetView(“vwLookupAction”)

view.Refresh ← error occurred here

The specified view was last modified about 2 years ago.

Could it be that the view was saved 2 years ago with another version of the Designer?

The view was last saved with Designer version 5 but, given that all the clients and servers have now been v6.5 for at least a year, I’d have expected the error to appear sooner and more frequently if that was the cause.

So far, it’s only been seen (or at least reported) once, and it only appeared a few days ago.
