Lotus Notes Spell check closes down Lotus Notes

Clarifications

Is the notes.ini file located on a server, or locally? At my previous work, we had experienced same problem with spellcheck (danish version) and the user.dic file. The problem was, when we tried to run a spellcheck, we got an error saying "Cannot add word to dictionary", followed by a Notes-crash.

We had windows2000 prof. installed on our workstations, and we ran Notes is from a networkdrive. I??ve set the variables to the networkdrive where the Notes-client was running.
"tmp = N:\temp" and "temp = N:\temp". (N being the networkdrive Notes was running from)
If I ran Notes from the N-drive, i created a temp-folder under that drive.
In Notes.ini - I found the string: "FileDlgDirectory=C:\temp" and I have replaced the C:\temp with N:\temp - to the networkdrive where Notes was running. It solved the spell-checking problems, and no Notes-crash followed.
I have tried some of the other solutions, this was the thing that worked for me. Maybe others can benefit from it.
Good luck ;o)

Sorry I did not see YOUR answer to the problem. Not all problems are solved so quickly, since that specific problem had existed for 3 years before I found a solution that helped us at my work. I am sure that a professional like yourself, have already posted a solution to the problem long time before I have....
BTW I was only trying to help - what is your excuse?

Since the Q was for the version 6.4 I know that my solution is working for that specifik version. As much as I regret, not all companies are swichting to newer versions of Lotus Notes as soon as they apear, so my solution worked for that specific version. Maybe it will work for later versions, I can only hope, but it might give an idea to a solution in a later version... I was aware that it was a late version of Notes, but I was only trying to help, not offend anyone - knowing it was a very old version of Notes, but not all companies upgrade the way us tech-personel want them to :)
