Incompatibility between database designed on R6.5 and Notes client on R7
Dear experts,
I developed a database on an R6.5 server and my customers are using the R7 client. Some of them and I, myself, have had their Notes client crash while trying to make an update to the document (either while refreshing or saving it). Are there any design elements between 6.5 and 7 that I need to look out for that may cause this? This is rather urgent as the database is already in production. Thank you most kindly.

Thanks, I don't have any profile documents but there maybe several fields that comprise a notify field which is used as a send to. Those fields might be empty. I'll check and see if I can resolve this and also see if I can find the 6.5.5 hot fix (no such thing, right?)
There is a CLient Hot fix for R 6.5.5, and also a Fix Pack for the Server.
The client Hot fix needs to b requested from IBM last time I checked.
The Server Fix pack is available on te IBM site - Pasport Advantage Users.
I hope this helps !

Ahh, of course, normal best practices. Duh! And I'm pretty sure that there were errors that I introduced somehow between the time it did work ok and now. I'll be checking the database after I've run the usual routines. :)

Well, that appeared to resolve the issue but then I also went through and made sure that none of notify fields resolved to any blanks. So thanks again everyone for showing me the light. :)
I would also make sure you have the latest R 6.5 Designer, R 6.5.5 with the Hot fix.
If you can repeatably do this, I would consider trying to recomplie in R7.01 and see if this resolves the issue.
I hope this helps !
