How do I correct an error with "full text indexing" in a Lotus Notes database?
We have a database that is full-text indexed, and an agent that runs on it to archive expired documents.
When the agent attempts to run, the error received is: "ERROR: The full text index needs to be rebuilt".
I have attempted to delete the full-text index by right-clicking in the Administrator -> Files -> database.nsf, and selecting 'delete', but nothing appears to happen on the server.
When I try to execute commands such as fixup, updall, or compact, I always receive the same error message that the database is currently in use by you or another user. What other options do I have?

I had to reboot the server to complete the task, but with your instructions at least that worked. Thanks.
load updall -X <database name>
if this does not help, then perhaps some process is holding this database. your options would be to stop the server, open command prompt, go to domino data directory and run following command in the os prompt
nupdall -X <database name>
(that is assuming that your server OS is windows and domino program directory is in the path)
