Tried that but still get the Invalid.nsf error<br />
This is running from the 8.5.3FP6 client.<br />
<br />
Assume I can't do it on mine because it will set it to v.9

No, you need to run it from your computer.<br />
<br />
Since the file was created with the v.9 ODS format, only a v.9 installation can recognize that ODS format so it can be reverted to the previous version.

What do you mean by previous version?<br />
The Notes Client knows the version prior to the current release?<br />
<br />
The file was always v.9 ODS &nbsp;as it was created in 9.0

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I created an Archive for a user on my client running Notes 9.0<br />
This was because his mail was large and he didn't want to give up his laptop for a few hours.<br />
<br />
So I've copied the Archive to the user's PC but when he tries to open it he receives the error &quot;Invalid NSF Version&quot;.<br />
He is running the 8.5.3 FP6 (The corporate standard).<br />
<br />
I thought this might have something to do with the &quot;ODS&quot;? ( I might be wrong, this is just from Googling).<br />
In any case, does anybody know how I can downgrade or change the Database so that the user can open it?

Lotus Notes Database &quot;Invalid NSF Version&quot;

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
