The Notes Client then closes. Repeated attempts to start the client after deleting the Desktop and the Cache files have the same results. Answer One possible cause of this problem is a corrupt Location document in the Personal Address Book. Open the Notes.ini file and find the line starting with: Location= Remove everything after "Location=" , then save the Notes.ini file and restart the Notes Client. If the problem was due to a corrupt Location document, the client now will open using the first Location document in the Personal Address Book. If you attempt to switch to the Location document that was originally set in the Notes.ini, the "Invalid or Nonexistent Document" error will again occur. This Location document will need to be restored from a backup or be re-created. It may be necessary to rename the Personal Address Book and create a new one. This may be necessary if the first Location document in the address book is the corrupt one.

Notes: "Invalid or non-existent document" Published 22/01/2009 By Aleksander Nordgarden-Rødner As I have noted earlier, Lotus Notes is not famous for having easily understandable error-messages, quite the opposite in fact. However, when you think a bit about it; some messages are clearer than others. An example of this is the "Invalid or non-existent document" error. The problem in this case is that an entry in an NSF-file (a document in a database) is corrupt. This can happen for various reasons. There are two ways to fix the problem, one server-side, and one client-side. Server-side On the server console, run the command load fixup %NAME OF DATABASE% This will http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21098804 remove the faulting documents from the index and from the database Client-side Some databases can be replaced client-side (basically any databases located in the Data catalog of Notes). To replace them, simply rename the file, then start Notes. Notes will then recreate the file from the .ntf. NOTE: This will delete any and all entries in the database.

As for where it is located, that should be something you can find out by right-clicking the database, and looking at the properties. 05/03/2015 Reply mkamoski1 OK, I give up- where is the database? 05/03/2015 Reply mkamoski1 Ok, so after some more hunting, I found the "*.nsf" files here… C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\Data\ …and this is on Windows 7 for Lotus Notes 8.5 here. I renamed all the "*.nsf" files (as suggested above). I soon discovered that the "names.nsf" cannot be renamed in this way, and it is required for Lotus Notes startup so I set that one back to its original name. I started Notes, when to Calendar, tried to create a new Meeting and got the dreaded "invalid or non-existent document" error. I got the same error when trying to create a new Appointment. So I am still blocked on this bug in Note. One thing that I should note is that I am working on a travel com

Following Follow Lotus Notes Meeting I'm on Notes 9. I may have been on 8.5 when I created a recurring event. I have been reformatted and gotten a new hard drive also since I created this quarterly meeting back in 2013. A former team member has asked me to cancel the meeting, and I get the error "Invalid or nonexistent parent document". When I try to open the meeting, and "This meeting is not in your mailfile" when I click on a counter meeting. How can I remove the meeting and stop the quarterly reminder?

If you go to your All Documents view, you should be able to find the orphaned child document and delete it from there. Just remember that the date/time will be the date/time when the meeting notice was created, not the date/time of the meeting.
