yes assuming the db isn't corrupt it should just open. One suggestion though. make a copy of the nsf before you even open it. depending on the notes settings it could try replicating or doing some other fun stuff... which typically is OK. but I did have a notes developer make some lame LotusScript coding errors that hosed the dbs... so opening the file autolaunched the unintentional logic bomb.*
Good luck, HTH - M * why in the name of $deity would you code an old record purge & whitespace compact to happen on DB open? Also (and I'm just spitballing here...) shouldn't you check to see the select portion of your query was -- you know right? ProTip: there's a BIG difference between ">" and "<" when selecting date/time fields. Finally, don't do that sort of coding on a Friday afternoon before you go on a vacation! We got it all working again, but man that was a long 3days... :-/ On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 10:01 PM, Karl Schuttler <[email protected]> wrote: > I appreciate the quick responses.
