After upgrading to Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Client and Template, users’ mail files appear as an Archive
Tue, Oct 26th 2010 8:17a Kenio Carvalho After further investigation, it was determined that the existence of the "ArchiveDatabase" field, stored in the "Archive Database Profile" was the cause of the issue. By default, the "ArchiveDatabase" field does not exist in a mail file's "Archive Database Profile", but it does exist in an Archive database. Once this field was removed, the mail file no longer appeared as an archive. The following LotusScript button code can be used to delete this field: Sub Click(Source As Button) [read] Keywords: lotus
