have a look at this linkhttp://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/155d59c1e106ecec85256c4800549034?OpenDocument

The link is a little vague as to why. The problem is that a LotusScript library has been edited more recently than the code which calls it. The calling code was compiled with a version of the library which is not compatible with the current version.

Use Tools / Recompile All LotusScript in Domino Designer; that will usually correct the problem. However, note that just because a call is syntactically correct and recompiles successfully doesn’t mean it’s correct code. Beware!

I just thought I would share my findings with this problem…

It seems to me that if you use the LotusScript Shared Library, the order in which you save makes a difference. I had to do the following IN THIS ORDER to correct the “Generic LSE failure” problem…

  1. Comment out the call to the library (REM use “libraryname”)

  2. Re-Save the library

  3. Go back to the library call and UN-comment out the call (use “libraryname”)

  4. Re-Save the Form

what’s annoying is that this keeps on changing with different versions of notes. some versions compiled everything on the fly, others only if there were changes (like the later date/time), now it’s back to barfing.

it would be nice if they gave us the choice of which method to use. during development it would be handy to have everything compile as you go, in production you’d have compiled it already so you’d set it to barf (generic lse failure) on a code error (which it shouldn’t do unless someone updates something they shouldn’t).

In my case this was caused by a FIELD, and not a reference to a script library at all.

I just deleted sections of my form until the message stopped. By process of elimination I narrowed it to the culprit - an editable text field. Deleted and recreated the bad field and no more Generic LSE Error.
