Subject: Has Notes ever worked on this machine?

Try running: from the data-directory:

nfixup -F names.nsf

nupdall -R names.nsf

ncompact -c -i names.nsf

If that doesn’t resolve the problem, open the “names.nsf” Database using a different Notes client and check the $Programs view for extraneous Program Documents.

Subject: Program View

I can’t found the Program View. Mind to tell me where is it? Thanks

Subject: Re: $Program View

Hi Nick,

To locate the $Program View, follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Open your Personal Address Book (local names.nsf)

  2. Press and hold Ctrl+Shift. With those keys held down, select View–>Go To…

  3. From there, scroll down approximately Three Quarters of the way down and select “($Programs)”

Also, oddly enough, I have seen where this error has been resolved by rebooting the Domino Server.

I hope this information helps Nick - Good Luck!

Regards,

-Bob

Subject: Pleas Help…

I had try to run nfixup, nupdall and ncompact names.nsf. Apart of that, i had also try to delete all the document inside the local address book’s $Programs view. The problem still exist. For your information, all the Lotus Notes with this problem is Lotus Notes Basic/Standard 8.0.2 with Multi-user option. Please help. Thanks.

Subject: Same when using help

Hello !

I get the same message, when I read in the Lotus Notes Designer 8.5 Help Database.

I have no problems with other databases at all.
