he tried to attach a file in the mail. Technote (troubleshooting) Problem The user gets the error "File cannot be created" when attaching a simple file in the mail. Symptom A user gets the error message below when he attempts to attach a file in the mail. Reinstallation of Notes Client does not solve the problem. Cause This error message can indicate a corruption of the mail file or when there is an application memory leak or application resource conflict. Resolving the problem Below http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21591562 are the steps that have been able to resolve the issue for different users. I. Running maintenance parameters on the mailfile. Running maintenance on the server: 1. Have the user shut down their Notes Client 2. Run these commands on the server console: Load Fixup mail\username.nsf -f -n Load Compact mail\username.nsf -c -d -i Load Updall mail\username.nsf -r 3. Have the user http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21970580 delete their cache.ndk, and then relaunch their notes client and see if issue still occurs. Running maintenance locally: 1. Have the user shut down their Notes Client 2. Run these commands on the Command Prompt on your Notes directory: SAMPLE: C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes>nFixup -f -n TEST.nsf nFixup location\mailfile.nsf -f -n nCompact location\mailfile.nsf -c -d -i nUpdall location\mailfile.nsf -r 3. Have the user delete their cache.ndk, and then relaunch their notes client and see if issue still occurs. II. Compacting the workspace. 1. Right-click on an empty spot on the Notes Workspace 2. Choose "Workspace Properties" then click on the second tab 3. Click on the "%used" button. The lower the number, the better. 4. Click on the "compact" button III. Notes Temp Directory Another possible cause of the issue is if the Notes temp directory is being deleted by an antivirus. Please check if the user's notes.ini has the following lines. Delete them and restart Notes Client. NSF_HOOKS= ExtMgr_Addins= When the Notes Client starts, it creates a directory in the temporary folder of machine. This is named 'notesXXXXXX', where 'XXXXXX' is a hexadecimal number unique to eac
5/21/2010 QuestionHi, I've currently set up numerous people on lotus notes and have exported both achieves and address books to the appropriate users and have no issues what so ever and everything runs http://en.allexperts.com/q/Using-Lotus-Notes-1427/2010/5/Trouble-archiving-Error-message.htm as it should except, with one user I have set up, when http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=418134 I have selected emails to achieve, then select achieve selected documents. The error message "File cannot be created" pops up and not allowing the achieve to take place. But if I copy and paste or copy and cut, i am able to write those emails to the achieve. Is notes error there any help so the user can archive her emails like all the other users by archiving selected documents? Many thanks Ben AnswerHi Ben, There are several possibilities, why this error message could pop up, 1.) Archive file is corrupt 2.) One of the mails You intend to archive is corrupt 3.) No sufficient rights on the destination folder / Drive 4.) notes error file Problems with the log file. I would suggest trying the log file thing first, Go to the archive settings, and check out the last tab, if the create logfile option is ticked, untick it, it usually solves the problem. In case it doesnt, try to create a very new archive criteria, with new destination file, and give it a try, if not even this is helping, Run the compact, updall, and fixup commands on the mailbox, database might be corrupt. IN case of further questions, Please do not hesitate to come back to me.
