We are using Lotus Domino v5 and the clients were 5.10. On new PCs we are installing Notes client v6. On a PC swap, we copy over the id file and names.nsf. However, when the user on new v6 install tries to open e-mail he gets "object variable not set" . I have tried applying the v6 address book template to the file but it did not work. Any suggestions?

Yes, that is the whole message. I have looked in the forums on notes.net and found people have had the same error message but when dealing with scripting. We are doing no scripting here...just trying to get into e-mail.

yeah, i looked on the forum also. too bad the article we need 'how to t-shoot 'object variable not set' errors' was not available, eh? dang them.
not sure just what you mean by scripts, agents will do it also. maybe a rule or agent is in effect. can you put it back on working pc and investigate, maybe disable all rules and agents? sorry i am not much help and good luck.

looks like several people are experiencing this using Notes 6 client with Domino 5 server. can you go back to v5 for the Notes client? keep eye on the forum, looks like a fix should be on the way...

Thanks for trying --I appreciate the effort! Actually, I found out what the issue was. For some reason, the location was showing up as blank. When it was set back to Office, the error went away.
