Working as designed

Hi Kevin,

You are correct! When a user attempts to access a mail database based on mail8.ntf, and the Forms8.nsf is missing, the Domino server (iNotes) will revert to the Forms85.nsf for the shared design elements necessary to render the UI. This is functioning as designed.

Newer Domino server releases are officially supported with many older iNotes mail templates (including the 8.0.2 mail template); however, in order to maintain a consistent user interface for your 8.0.2 mail template users and to prevent the perception of missing features, we recommend maintaining a copy of the Forms8.nsf database on the server for your remaining 8.0.2 users.

If you have any additional questions regarding this, please feel free to post a response before the Open Mic call. Thanks!
