"You cannot add a directory to your workspace"

I’ll often open up the Design Help database from an icon on my workspace as I’m used to that help and can find the information I want a lot faster then the Help that’s inside DDE. I get the error message when clicking on something such as the “IsOpen” link under NotesDatabase, as shown below.

I don’t always get the message but it’s fairly often.

It is reproducable.

When you click on a link in the documents on the right side, you get this message.

Some links work without the warning …

Subject: me too.

VERY annoying!!!

Subject: Same Error But Found Solution

Dave,

I had a user who experienced the same error while starting Lotus Notes 8.5. The solution was to have Notes cycle through this prompt (my user had several), then select the ‘Window - Show Thumbnails’ menu option. Here you will see the Notes windows opened and active. Click the window in question, and remove from the list. Hope this helps.
