Re: Private View Error

Hi Rich,

I saw some documentation regarding this error back in R4, so I have updated it to be relevant to now. The issue seems to be with a Private View within a database. You can try one of the four methods outlined below to see if this resolves the problem. I would recommend trying Method 2 first, it seems easiest in determining whether the issue lies within the desktop6.ndk.

Also, just because it helps, I would suggest deleting your Cache.ndk; this will be recreated upon Starting of the Notes Client.

Method 1: Conventional Method

-If you know the database that is causing this error, emove the related database icon from your Notes Workspace. This action should remove the Private view stored in Desktop.ndk. A system prompt may appear stating, "Removing the database will delete your x private view(s). Remove anyway?" will most likely appear when you delete the icon. Select Yes to delete the private views. Note: This deletes ALL of your private views from that database that are stored in the Desktop.dsk.

Method 2:
Shut down the Notes Client and rename Desktop.dsk. When you restart Notes, it will create a new Desktop.dsk file.
===> Major disadvantage: All of the database icons on your Workspace will be removed; you will need to re-add all of them from scratch.

Method 3:
1. Back up the Desktop.dsk file.
2. Open Desktop.dsk by selecting File,Database, Open and typing: Desktop.dsk. You will see all the Private views from different databases stored in the Desktop.dsk file.

Note: The default Access Control List (ACL) setting for Desktop.dsk is Manager. Therefore, you can see the Design.

3. Click on Design.
4. Click on View.
5. Manually delete the unwanted private views.

===> Major disadvantage: This is not a certified or supported method of deleting private views. Be sure to back up the Desktop.dsk first before proceeding, in case the Desktop.dsk file becomes damaged.


I hope this helps Rich! Good luck!

Regards,
-Bob
